PFAS Sample Prep Workflow

The detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) within our air, water, and soil has confirmed their place as persistent pollutants that pose significant health risks upon human exposure, including metabolic changes, elevated cholesterol levels, and increased cancer risks.

As governments are spurred to take action and monitor the levels of these compounds, Biotage understands the need for simple and robust sample preparation procedures and has a number of solutions tailored to environmental and biological fluid matrices.

Homogenization

The concentration of PFAS analytes can be higher in certain portions of solid samples, therefore sample homogenization is key in screening solid matrices for toxic substances.

Biotage® Lysera

The Lysera is specifically designed for automating the grinding, lysing, and homogenizing of biological samples.
