PFAS testing services

We offer several PFAS analysis packages for drinking water and natural water samples, with options to meet a range of requirements in terms of detectable compounds, detection limits, and standard methods. All analyses are performed using highly sensitive liquid chromatography methods, such as LC-MS/MS and LC-MS QQQ. Some of the most popular packages for drinking water include the following:  Analysis according to the EU Drinking Water Directive 2020/2184, including the 20 compounds listed under the “Sum of PFAS” parameter. A low-detection-limit option with a LOD of 1.5 ng/l for PFBA and 0.5 ng/l for the other compounds is available, performed according to ISO 21675. , Standard analyses according to several widely recognized PFAS testing standards:  CEN/TS 15968 (51 compounds, reporting limit 0.3–2 ng/l), EPA 1633 (40 compounds, reporting limit from 1.5 ng/l), EPA 533 (25 compounds, reporting limit 2 ng/l)., Extended analysis of 57 selected compounds with an in-house method similar to EPA 533 or ISO 21675. The detection limit is 0.2 ng/l for the majority of target PFAS.. Target compound lists for each analysis are available upon request. Apart from the EU Drinking Water Directive analysis, all packages can be adapted for natural water matrices. However, if you have samples that are known to be highly contaminated, please see our options for PFAS analysis of wastewater and highly contaminated water. Projects are priced based on the selected method and the number of samples submitted in one batch. Please describe your analysis goals and any specific requirements when requesting an offer, so that our experts can prepare an accurate quote.
