Provides Methods for Analyzing Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Drinking Water According to EPA Methods 533 and 537.1

LC/MS/MS Method Package for PFAS

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) has standardized two methods for the analysis of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in drinking water: EPA Method 537.1 and 533, encompassing a total of 29 PFAS. These methods were used as reference for creating a vetted LC/MS/MS Method Package for Analyzing PFAS in Drinking Water. This method package includes ready-to-use analytical conditions for EPA Methods 533 and 537.1, examples of analytical procedures for the methods, and various other information, such as precautions for sample preparation and analysis. Using this product, 52 PFAS compounds* in drinking water can be analyzed.

* Including internal standard substances, surrogates, etc.

 

Get your lab ready for analyzing PFAS by these methods with Shimadzu’s Method Package and the Guides that walk you through the different steps, from preparing your lab to analyzing your first samples.
