Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man made chemicals widely used in industrial and commercial products due to their resistance to heat, water, and oil. Because PFAS compounds are persistent in the environment they are often referred to as forever chemicals.
PFAS contamination has been identified in groundwater, drinking water, soils, sediments, biosolids, and industrial materials across the United States. Accurate laboratory analysis is critical to understanding the presence and extent of these compounds.
GEL Laboratories provides comprehensive PFAS analytical services using advanced LC-MS/MS instrumentation and validated analytical methods that support regulatory programs, environmental investigations, and industrial testing requirements.
