PFAS analysis: improving efficiency by using LC-MS systems with System Monitoring software

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used in industrial applications and consumer products for decades, but are highly persistent in the environment and may pose a risk to health. The full picture is still emerging, but their tenacity and the extent of environmental contamination has led to them being nicknamed ‘forever chemicals’.

Laboratories responsible for PFAS analysis are subject to stringent regulatory requirements, complex sample matrices and the need for high sensitivity and accuracy.

This white paper, provided for free by Waters Corporation, explores the challenges these labs face and how a remote lab management approach can help meet the requirements while improving efficiency and throughput.

Download now to discover how software that provides a holistic and dynamic view of your LC-MS instrument fleet provides a number of advantages for PFAS laboratories, including:

• Enabling the optimal use of instruments so laboratories can readily scale for increased demands of PFAS analysis using real-time system usage monitoring.
• Ensuring maximum productivity and efficient lab operations by optimising resource requirements.
• Providing confidence for a fast-paced PFAS laboratory to accurately and quickly coordinate and schedule work in day-to-day operations.
• Reducing troubleshooting time and quickly resolving system errors that come from increased system utilisation to maximise productivity.
