PFAs Analysis - No more a challenge

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are the subject of significant regulatory action around the world. PFOA and PFOS are both set to be designated as a hazardous substances and needs analytical testing’s for identification and quantitation in food, water and environment. For the purpose of developing and improving the testing of the PFAS for a wide range of monitoring and improved data quality in different matrices.

This Agilent PFAS Seminar brings basics of PFAS, regulatory overview, agilent solutions and support to establish and improve PFAS testing facility for wide scale monitoring and improved data quality in different matrices.

• Regulatory Overview
• Infrastructure requirement for critical and highly sensitive analysis (Instruments)
• Consumables needed for reliable results (Columns & Consumables)
• Agilent Expertise and LC-TQ based workflow solutions
• Developing and accreditation of routine and regulatory PFAS methods
