PFAS: Navigating Analytical Method Options, Part 3

Why attend this webinar? PFAS analysis requires strategic method selection—no single approach works for all analytes and matrices. This presentation provides a practical framework for choosing the right analytical methods for your specific testing needs.

What you'll learn:

Drinking Water Methods—Critical Distinctions
Understanding when to use EPA Method 537.1 versus Method 533 or other analytical tools is essential for clear and comprehensive PFAS assessment. We'll compare their analytical capabilities, target analyte coverage, and key differences that impact your sampling strategy.

Environmental Matrices—The Industry Standard
EPA Method 1633A has become the go-to approach for analyzing 40 PFAS across water, soil, sediment, and tissue. Learn how this method supersedes earlier protocols and how DoD's Quality Systems Manual requirements shape testing protocols.

Specialized Applications Beyond Routine Testing
Laboratories have developed targeted methodologies for challenging matrices including air, biological specimens, consumer products, and food, as well as innovative techniques to address broader questions about emerging compounds, sources, fate and transport, and the like. Discover when specialized approaches are necessary.

Emerging Technologies
Non-targeted techniques—TOP Assay, TOF, and Non-Target Analysis—are transforming PFAS detection. We'll introduce how these complement traditional methods and when to consider them for your projects.

Who should attend: Environmental consultants, regulators, industrial operators, laboratory professionals, and project managers responsible for PFAS assessment, remediation, and compliance.
