Analysis of food, drinking water, and consumer products
In addition to environmental samples, PFAS can be screened from a variety of products and materials. This is commonly done to ensure compliance with relevant national and international regulations, including the following:
EU PFAS regulations on food, drinking water, cosmetics, and consumer products.
Global PFAS restrictions under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)
State-level laws in the US, banning the use of PFAS in products such as food packaging, textiles, and cosmetics
Analyses can be targeted on a specific set of substances mentioned in the relevant legislation and screened with a method like LC-MS/MS. In addition, total organic fluorine (TOF) analysis using combustion ion chromatography can be used to evaluate the overall presence of PFAS in the material, and a TOP assay can be used to screen samples for PFAS precursors. A combination of these approaches is recommended for a convincing case to be made for the product being PFAS-free.
PFAS in food (EU compliance)
To minimize human exposure to PFAS through the diet, the European Union has set limits on the presence of certain PFAS compounds in eggs, fishery products, meat, and edible offal. The displayed starting price includes an accredited analysis of the following PFAS, for which maximum levels are set in EU legislation: Compound Abbreviation CAS number Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid PFOS 2795-39-3 Perfluorooctanoic acid PFOA 335-67-1 Perfluorononanoic acid PFNA 375-95-1 Perfluorohexane sulfonic acid PFHxS 3871-99-6 Upon request, the package can be expanded with the following compounds: Compound Abbreviation CAS number Perfluoropentanoic acid PFPeA 2706-90-3 Perfluorohexanoic acid PFHxA 307-24-4 Perfluoroheptanoic acid PFHpA 375-85-9 Perfluorodecanoic acid PFDA 335-76-2 Perfluoroundecanoic acid PFUnDA 2058-94-8 Perfluorododecanoic acid PFDoDA 307-55-1 Perfluorotridecanoic acid PFTrDA 72629-94-8 Perfluorotetradecanoic acid PFTeDA 376-06-7 Perfluorobutanesulfonic acid PFBS 375-73-5 Perfluoroheptanesulfonic acid PFHpS 375-92-8 Perfluorodecanesulfonic acid PFDeS 335-77-3 Perfluoropentanesulfonic acid PFPeS 2706-91-4 Perfluorononanesulfonic acid PFNS 68259-12-1 Perfluorododecanesulfonic acid PFDoS 79780-39-5 Contact our experts using the form below to get an offer for the PFAS screening of your samples.

ASTM D7359
Determination of the total organic fluorine (TOF) content in combustible materials using combustion ion chromatography (CIC). By default, TOF is analyzed as total fluorine (TF). If required, total inorganic fluorine (TIF) can be measured as well, and TOF calculated as the difference between TF and TIF. TOF analysis gives information about the total amount of organic fluorinated compounds. It can also be used to evaluate the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the material, even though individual PFAS compounds can't be analyzed with this method.

Read moreTotal organic fluorine (TOF) content in paper, polymers, and textiles
Determination of total organic fluorine (TOF) in paper, polymers, and textiles. As these types of samples generally have low inorganic fluorine content, TOF is analyzed as total fluorine (TF), unless requested otherwise. If needed, total inorganic fluorine (TIF) can also be measured, and TOF can then be calculated as the difference between TF and TIF. Please note that the additional determination of TIF involves extra analytical steps, which will be reflected in the price. TOF analysis gives information about the total amount of organic fluorinated compounds in the material. It can also be used to evaluate the overall presence or absence of PFAS, even though this method cannot identify individual PFAS compounds.
