Reliable PFAS Screening in Singapore for Accurate Environmental & Industrial Testing

Advanced PFAS Screening solutions powered by Combustion Ion Chromatography (C-IC) — enabling fast, precise detection of total organic fluorine across water, waste, and industrial samples.

What is PFAS Screening?

PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are a manmade, persistent group of chemicals widely found in water, soil, and industrial materials. Due to their environmental and health risks, accurate detection is critical.

PFAS Screening focuses on measuring total organic fluorine (TOF/AOF) as an indicator of PFAS contamination using advanced analytical techniques.

Using Combustion Ion Chromatography (C-IC), laboratories can efficiently screen PFAS by detecting fluorine compounds present in samples.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between PFAS screening and targeted PFAS analysis?

PFAS screening measures total organic fluorine (TOF/AOF) to detect the overall presence of fluorinated compounds, while targeted PFAS analysis identifies and quantifies specific PFAS compounds. Screening is faster and useful for initial assessment before detailed testing.

Why is Combustion Ion Chromatography (C-IC) used for PFAS screening?

C-IC enables accurate detection of total fluorine by combusting samples and analysing the resulting ions. This method provides reliable, efficient screening across various sample types, including water, soil, and industrial materials.

What types of samples can be tested using PFAS screening systems?

PFAS screening systems can analyze a wide range of samples, including drinking water, wastewater, soil, petrochemical products, plastics, and electronic materials.

How sensitive is PFAS screening using C-IC technology?

Modern PFAS screening systems offer ppb-level (parts per billion) sensitivity, allowing for precise detection of trace levels of fluorinated compounds in complex matrices.

Which industries benefit most from PFAS screening?

Industries such as environmental testing, petrochemical manufacturing, electronics, semiconductors, and research laboratories benefit significantly from PFAS screening for compliance, quality control, and environmental monitoring.
