🔃 Global Circulation of Movement Revealed in Arctic Ocean Study 🌊

A study in ACS' Environmental Science & Technology Letters reveals global PFAS circulation beyond the Arctic Ocean, facilitated by air and oceanic entry. The Fram Strait, near Greenland, serves as a gateway for PFAS movement, influenced by water circulation. Researchers found ten PFAS, including phased-out PFOA and PFOS, at varying depths, even below 3,000 feet. The study estimates around 123 tons of PFAS enter the Arctic, while 110 tons move into the Atlantic annually, emphasizing the significant global impact of PFAS circulation in the Arctic Ocean.

These findings indicate the critical need for continued and efficient monitoring of these persistent contaminants. By incorporating automation, exemplified by the SPE-03 automated SPE system for PFAS extraction, researchers and environmental agencies can enhance the accuracy and efficiency of data collection, providing a more reliable understanding of PFAS distribution and concentrations in aquatic environments.

Join our experts from Promochrom, Waters Corporation and Katahdin Analytical Services as we discuss as we discuss PFAS analysis.

This webinar will discuss automated SPE using Promochrom’s SPE-03 for PFAS extraction following EPA Methods (533/537.1/1633), Waters comprehensive PFAS analysis solution and implementation success at Katahdin Analytical Services to meet the regulatory requirements for PFAS testing program.

Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) represents a crucial stage in analysis to achieve the lowest detection limits, but lends itself to substantial inefficiencies when performed manually. Compounded with this are the different sample, solvent and procedural requirements of each SPE method. PromoChrom’s SPE-03 system has emerged as a single platform to help laboratories worldwide automate their PFAS extraction following EPA Methods 537.1/533/1633, ISO 21675, and custom in-house procedures. This presentation discusses the achieved results and highlights the flexible extractor design that meets the diverse needs of PFAS laboratories. Prep PFAS with PromoChrom!

Additionally, analytical separation and detection requirements for PFAS have been getting more challenging as advisory and regulatory limits are constantly being updated. A highly sensitive UPLC-MS/MS platform is essential with implementation of best practices to eliminate background contamination. The presentation will highlight recent advances in UPLC-MS/MS technology with enhancements in negative ion sensitivity from the Xevo TQ Absolute Mass Spectrometer, as well as tools for data management with waters_connect software.
