In response to the ever-growing need to monitor for narcotic consumption at community level, Eurofins Environment Testing US will host a webinar, Harnessing Wastewater Surveillance for Illicit Narcotics and Opioids Monitoring, on June 20, 2023, at 1:30 pm EST. The webinar will demonstrate how valuable a tool wastewater surveillance is in comprehending the prevalence and dynamics of substance abuse disorders within communities.

The American Chemical Society’s Environmental Science and Technology journal recently published a study, “A Self-Collection Blood Test for PFASs: Comparing Volumetric Micro-Samplers with a Traditional Serum Approach” which reports a test developed by Eurofins Environment Testing is a viable self-collection tool for assessing human exposure to PFAS.

A simple equilibrium passive sampler, consisting of water in an inert container capped with a rate-limiting barrier, for the monitoring of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in sediment pore water and surface water was developed and tested through a series of laboratory and field experiments.

In this community-led pilot study we sought to investigate the utility of expanded per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) testing for drinking water, using a targeted analysis for 70 PFAS and the Total Oxidizable Precursor (TOP) Assay which can indicate the presence of precursor PFAS.

Eurofins Environment Testing Northern California: Wastewater (EWW) and Eurofins Pandemic Prevention Services (EPPS) today launched a droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assay for the quantitative analysis of SARS-CoV-2 Variant of Concern (VoC) XBB.1.5 in wastewater.

Eurofins Drinking Water Testing laboratories in Indiana and California have been appointed by EPA for UCMR 5 Small Systems Contract. Eurofins Drinking Water Testing has been analyzing PFAS for over 20 years, which includes the initial EPA PFAS data collection and analysis and has been a participating laboratory in the UCMR program since its inception.

In December 2022, the 3rd Draft of EPA Method 1633 was released which includes quality control criteria that was produced from a multi-laboratory validation study conducted for wastewater.

Eurofins Environment Testing laboratory in Denver, CO announces that they have received accreditation for Draft EPA Method 1633 for the US Department of Defense and Department of Energy under QSM 5.4 Table B-24 for all 40 PFAS compounds for water and solid matrices.

Eurofins Environment Testing Northern California: Wastewater (EWW) and Eurofins Pandemic Prevention Services (EPPS) today launched a droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assay for the combined quantitative analysis of SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern (VoC) BQ.1 and BQ.1.1 in wastewater.

Eurofins Sacramento, part of the Eurofins network of companies in the US, in collaboration with SCIEX USA, successfully achieved the analytical challenge of detecting the 2022 interim Health Advisory Levels (HALs) of 4ppq (parts per quadrillion) for PFOA and 20ppq for PFOS, as established by the US EPA.
