Toxic 'Forever Chemicals' Are Everywhere—But Analyzing Them Just Got Trickier. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), known for their use in heat-, oil-, and water-resistant products, have sparked major environmental and health concerns. These persistent chemicals are notoriously difficult to monitor, yet their analysis is more critical than ever. But here's where it gets controversial: while traditional methods struggle with ultrashort chain PFAS like trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and PFPrA, a new approach promises to revolutionize the game—though not without debate.
Join us on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at 8am PST | 11am EST | 4pm GMT | 5pm CET for a free webinar that dives deep into the latest LC-MS strategies for PFAS analysis. We’ll explore cutting-edge techniques, including the use of superficially porous particle (SPP) technology columns, to tackle both ultrashort and long-chain PFAS mixtures. And this is the part most people miss: recent advancements in larger injection volumes and streamlined sample preparation are slashing analysis times—but are these shortcuts reliable enough for real-world applications?
Event Highlights:
- Step-by-step troubleshooting to restore LC-MS performance.
- Demonstrations of EPA methods (533, 537.1, 8327, 1633) using SPP columns.
- Innovations in mixed-mode HILIC and reversed-phase HALO® PCS silica for improved short-chain PFAS retention.
- A bold discussion on the limitations of current methods and the potential of emerging technologies.
Speaker: Conner McHale, Technical Support Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology, will share actionable insights and expert tips.
