Sample preparation workflow for organic pollutants and PFAS in environmental samples

Environmental laboratories face increasing pressure to process complex matrices for both inorganic and organic contaminants with higher efficiency, lower cost, and full regulatory compliance. This four-part webinar series provides a comprehensive overview of modern sample preparation solutions for heavy metals, mercury, and organic pollutants, including PFAS.
Through practical guidance and real-world examples, we will explore how advanced digestion, extraction, and direct analysis tools streamline workflows, minimize errors, and improve data quality. Participants will gain actionable strategies to enhance productivity and achieve more reliable environmental results across the entire sample-to-analysis journey.
Episode 4: Sample preparation workflow for organic pollutants and PFAS in environmental samples
Environmental laboratories must increasingly process samples for a wide range of organic contaminants, from legacy pollutants such as PAHs, PCBs, and pesticides to emerging compounds like PFAS, which require exceptional contamination control. This webinar presents a modern, integrated sample preparation workflow using Milestone’s ETHOS X extraction platform. Attendees will learn how advanced microwave extraction improves recoveries, reduces solvent use, and accelerates turnaround time across soils, sediments, and sludges. A dedicated focus on PFAS will provide best practices aligned with EPA 1633A to ensure consistency, low blanks, and regulatory compliance.
