AQUARIS PFAS Cartridges
SPE Columns For PFAS Analysis
Achieving consistent PFAS recoveries starts long before the instrument; it begins with a reliable and reproducible clean-up workflow.
At Skalar, we support laboratories with high-performance SPE solutions designed to stabilize recoveries across a wide range of PFAS chemistries, including challenging long-chain compounds and neutral sulfonamides. For complex or highly colored samples, specialized sorbent options ensure that pigments and matrix components are efficiently removed without compromising analyte enrichment.
Our PFAS-focused SPE offering also includes SDVB and WAX phases engineered for trace-level sensitivity and full compliance with current European, US, and international PFAS testing guidelines.
Whether your lab is optimizing environmental, food, or biota workflows, Skalar provides the tools to help you meet regulatory demands with confidence and reproducibility.
