PFAS ANALYSIS IN SOIL | Simplify soil testing with automated sample preparation

PFAS analysis in soil is anything but simple. Detection limits set by regulatory bodies – including those defined in EPA 1633 – are extremely low, currently in the parts per trillion range and likely to drop even further. There’s also a high risk of contamination, as PFAS compounds are found in many common lab plastics, including standard PTFE plungers. On top of this, soil samples are complex, and manual preparation is time consuming, error prone and difficult to standardize.

Powerful automation for chromatography sample preparation
The ePrep® ONE addresses the challenges of soil PFAS testing with:
– Fully automated sample preparation, eliminating the variability of manual handling
– Ultra-precise dispensing for accurate addition of internal and surrogate standards at trace levels
– Performance that meets the requirements of environmental regularity bodies
– PFAS-free syringes and plungers, eliminating background contamination from plastics containing Teflon
– Extraction using large amplitude Vortex Mixer
– Consistent and reproducible sample preparation across varied soil types
– Validated methods with high sensitivity and excellent recoveries
– Low volume standard preparation to reduce use of costly reagents

…and last but not least ROI of 6-8 months, based on staff time savings, fewer repeats and the ability to run workflows outside of working hours
