Upcoming Metrohm webinar on comprehensive PFAS analysis with IC-based techniques

From Challenge to Confidence: PFAS Analysis

On June 18, Metrohm will host a webinar that discusses how laboratories can make sure that their analyses capture all PFAS compounds. After attending this webinar, participants will have a better understanding of the regulatory background and complementary techniques for PFAS analysis based on ion chromatography (IC).
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) comprise a group of highly persistent compounds that pose significant environmental concerns, particularly in water quality monitoring. Comprehensive characterization of PFAS contamination remains analytically challenging due to the chemical diversity of these substances and the limitations of individual methods.

This webinar presents two complementary techniques that provide a comprehensive picture of PFAS levels:

Combustion Ion Chromatography (CIC) for a robust overview of total PFAS contamination levels

Ion chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (IC-MS/MS) to capture ultra-short chain PFAS like trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a relevant degradation product that may account for a significant proportion of total PFAS in water samples

After the webinar, participants will know more about the regulatory background for PFAS analysis in water (DIN 38409‑59, ISO 18127, EPA 1621, DIN 38407‑53) and the use of CIC and IC-MS/MS for comprehensive PFAS analysis.
