Per- and Polyfluorinated Alkyl Substances (PFAS) are a class of synthetic organic compounds with excellent resistance to thermal and chemical degradation. All PFAS share a similar chemical structure: a neutral per or polyfluorinated carbon chain and an anion organic functional group ‘head’ to which the surfactant properties of the molecule are attributed. The number of unique PFAS compounds is estimated to be between 5,000 and 10,000.
As new data on the effects of PFAS on human health is reported and new compounds are introduced to the market by manufacturers, PFAS regulations shift and adapt. At Metiri Group, we embrace the challenge of a growing target analyte list and lower reporting limits. Our team has all of the latest tools necessary for your PFAS testing project, including a state-of-the-art liquid chromatograph triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.

Chief Science Officer Series: Why do we care about PFAS?
The environmental and public health challenge of PFAS poses several obstacles and difficulties for those working towards solutions. The lists, limits and methods for PFAS are continually changing. PFAS cleanup is complex, resulting in an increasing amount of site contamination.
Metiri Group endeavors to be one of the first laboratory networks to incorporate a new list or limit and stay ahead of the curve. With an established rigorous training program, Metiri Group ensures that personnel are aware of the high expectations for quality scientific contribution.
