Event Overview:
PFAS is a hot topic in the field of water analysis, with many of the testing labs gearing up to monitor the regulated 47+ compounds. This analysis can be tricky as there are many potential sources of contamination and losses.
Topics Covered:
- Direct LC-MS/MS water analysis
- Approaches for water sample pre-treatment
- Identification of sources of contamination
- Method for the analysis of volatile PFAS in the air
