PFAS Analysis Expert Panel Discussion: Your Questions Answered

Insights from Leading Experts on PFAS Testing Across Water, Soil and Tissue Samples | On-Demand Webinar

Duration: 60 minutes
Format: On-demand
Registration: Free (registration required)

This webinar forms part of Shimadzu’s PFAS in Focus technical series and explores alternative analytical approaches for PFAS compounds that may not be fully addressed using traditional LC-MS methodologies.

Following the first three sessions covering targeted PFAS analysis, non-targeted screening and alternative analytical techniques, this expert panel discussion brings together specialists from across the field to address practical questions surrounding PFAS testing in environmental samples.

Questions submitted by laboratories, researchers and industry professionals are discussed by recognised experts, covering challenges, methodologies and emerging trends in PFAS analysis.

What This Webinar Covers

During this panel discussion, experts share their perspectives on:

• PFAS testing across water, soil and biological tissue samples
• Practical challenges encountered during PFAS method implementation
• Selection of analytical techniques for different PFAS applications
• Emerging developments in environmental PFAS analysis
• Questions submitted by laboratories and researchers working with PFAS

The session concludes with additional discussion and expert insights into current and future PFAS testing requirements.

Why Expert Perspectives Matter

PFAS analysis continues to evolve rapidly as laboratories respond to new regulatory requirements, emerging contaminants and advances in analytical instrumentation.

Understanding how experienced practitioners approach sample preparation, method selection and data interpretation can help laboratories:

• Improve confidence in PFAS testing workflows
• Select appropriate analytical techniques
• Address common implementation challenges
• Stay informed about developments across the PFAS testing landscape

This webinar provides practical insights drawn from both academic research and real-world laboratory experience.

Part of the PFAS in Focus Technical Series

PFAS in Focus is a 10-part technical webinar programme sponsored by Shimadzu, covering analytical strategies for PFAS testing across multiple platforms.

The series includes:

• Targeted PFAS analysis using LC-MS/MS
• Non-targeted screening using Q-TOF LC-MS
• Alternative PFAS Analysis Techniques: GC-MS, HS-SPME and AOF by CIC
• Total fluorine measurement using AOF and CIC
• Practical laboratory implementation and expert discussion

This session serves as a recap of key topics covered throughout the series while providing an opportunity to gain additional insights from recognised PFAS specialists.
