Beyond the Method: Uncovering the Limits of PFAS Detection with Combustion Ion Chromatography

As regulatory attention on PFAS intensifies, laboratories are seeking more comprehensive detection strategies. While LC-MS/MS remains the gold standard for targeted PFAS analysis, it doesn't tell the full story. Combustion Ion Chromatography (CIC) offers a powerful, complementary approach, helping labs assess broad-spectrum organofluorine content through AOF and EOF testing.

This webinar explores recent studies by Babcock Laboratories in collaboration with the California State Water Resources Control Board, using Metrohm’s Profiler-F to push the boundaries of PFAS detection. The presentation will cover method development across challenging matrices such as drinking water, address issues like background fluorine and blank subtraction, and highlight sample preparation limitations and analyte recovery.
