Ask Us Anything About the Analysis of PFAS

PFAS in Focus

Welcome to the PFAS in Focus, a comprehensive and exclusive 10-parts webinar series sponsored by Shimadzu, covering the basics and beyond about the analysis of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in the environment. In these five webinars, our experts will demonstrate the suitability of various analytical techniques, such as LCMS, GCMS, CIC, and QTOF, for PFAS testing.

Join our experts, live or on-demand after the original air date, to demystify the challenges of PFAS analysis and gain the insights you need to:

• Manage PFAS contamination in your laboratory.
• Master standardized methods for PFAS testing.
• Discover new analytical workflows to maximize the performance of your instruments (LC-MS/MS, GCMS, CIC, QTOF) for PFAS analysis.

Who should attend:

• Environmental industry professionals and academics currently working on PFAS analysis or looking to establish the application in their labs.
• Representatives from drinking and wastewater utilities.
• LC–MS users from any field interested in expanding their applications to include PFAS testing.

Part 05: Ask Us Anything About the Analysis of PFAS

As closing event of the PFAS In Focus webinar series, we will host a live panel discussion. Top experts in the field will provide their perspectives and answer your questions about PFAS testing in diverse environmental samples (water, soil, tissue…). 

Submit your questions in advance here by April 3rd, 2025. Or be ready to submit them during the live webinar on April 17th, 2025. Do not miss to get your questions answered and become the PFAS expert in your lab.

We will host a Q&A session after the presentation to address any questions or comments.
