PFAS summit: a scientific series - Part III: a day in the life of the PFAS lifecycle
Do we already know everything there is to know about PFAS testing?
This class of compounds continue to be headlines in the news and social media, but the question above should be a constant rhetorical question! Is there more to be discovered?
Yes! Especially when the entire PFAS lifecycle is considered. Want to know more? Join us for part III of the SCIEX PFAS summit: a scientific series
Join this event and learn more about:
- The PFAS lifecycle: prepare for the future as testing repertoires expand beyond drinking water
- How internal scientists at SCIEX can help and ensure the success of your lab with the latest developed methods, tips and tricks
- What our industry partners are working on, how they tackle their challenges, and develop customer solutions to meet their needs
Day 1 agenda
Where else can you access expert scientists and application specialists for free sessions on PFAS testing? Everything from detailed explanations of the PFAS lifecycle relevance, regional perspectives, applications beyond drinking water, our SCIEX scientists are here to present their findings, as well as answer any questions you may have in a roundtable discussion. So join us and ask away!

Addressing PFAS measurement challenges through NIST reference materials and data
- NIST’s role as the United States’ National Metrology Institute (NMI) enables the organization to provide high quality measurements, materials, and data to support chemical measurement challenges, including those related to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
- The process of development and the intended use of NIST reference materials to ensure quality of targeted PFAS measurements will be described
- Recent work by NIST has developed high quality data and databases to support the non-targeted analysis for PFAS using high resolution mass spectrometry
