Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
AccuStandard
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) belong to a continuously expanding family of thousands of man-made chemical pollutants. The amphiphilic ability of PFAS has led to the manufacturing of PFAS in oils and water-resistant industrial and consumer products such as firefighting foams, cleaners, cosmetics, paints, adhesives, non-stick coatings and insecticides. However, environmental chemists and biologists have uncovered that PFAS have harmful toxicological effects and pose a significant risk to the public. The high thermal and chemical stability of PFAS make them persistent in the environment and nearly non-biodegradable, necessitating chemical reference standards to monitor for PFAS in drinking water, burn sites and teflon products.

To reduce exposure to PFAS, USEPA has published Method 533 to test for 25 PFAS in Drinking Water. Our M-533 PFAS CRM is formulated to include all target analytes required by this method.
USEPA Drinking Water Target PFAS Reference Standard
20 µg/mL in Acetonitrile
6 comps.
This updated version of method 537 can be used for the quantitative analysis of 18 analytes by Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) and Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS).
This was the first method introduced for the determination of 14 PFAS in drinking water. It includes 14 PFAS for determination using Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) and Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). This method was updated in 2018 to 537.1 which adds additional analytes.
This Certified Reference Material (CRM) contains the 24 PFAS based on the newest publication of USEPA Method 8327 which is suitable for testing PFAS in surface water, groundwater and wastewater matrices. Our two CRMs M-8327-10X and M-8327 are offered at a high and a low concentration to meet the specific needs of your testing. Both CRMs are stabilized with NaOH to enhance product stability.
Absorbable Organic Fluorine (AOF) is another technique for the analysis of PFAS in liquid matrices where the Total concentration of Organic Fluorine compounds (TOF) is quantified instead of analyzing individual PFAS. USEPA Draft Method 1621 is designed for the determination of AOF in aqueous matrices using Combustion Ion Chromatography (CIC).
Our M-1633 product series is offered to cover the 40 native PFAS required by USEPA Method 1633. USEPA Method 1633 is for the analysis of PFAS in aqueous, solid, biosolids and tissue samples using LC-MS/MS technique.
This test method has been developed by USEPA region 5 through ASTM, D19 committee for the determination of PFAS in a soil matrix using LC-MS/MS. Our D-7968 CRM is prepared to contain all the 21 target native PFAS compounds in MeOH. Mixture is stabilized with NaOH to prevent acid esterification.

These CRMs are designed for the analysis of Fluorotelomer Alcohols (FTOHs) which are commonly used in the synthesis of PFAS compounds and in the manufacturing of different consumer products.
FTOHs in Test Chamber Air by TD-GC-MS/MS - ASTM Method D8591
This CRM supports the testing for PFAS in non-filtered water such as drinking water and wastewater using LC-MS/MS and according to the international standard. Our updated ISO21675 CRM includes the 29 native PFAS required by the test method and NaOH is added for enhanced stability. Perfluorooctadecanoic acid (PFODA) is available as a single component standard in both 2 µg/mL and 100 µg/mL concentrations in Methanol.

FDA C-010.02 is one of the first test methods developed to address PFAS in food. The method procedure covers the testing of 16 PFAS found in infant formula, salmon, pancake syrup and other food matrices. PFAS-FDA is offered to include all 16 target PFAS in a multi component CRM.
These CRMs encompass all targeted compounds in AOAC Method 2023.003 for PFAS contaminants commonly found in produce, beverages, dairy products, eggs and other food dietary products. Mix 1 is prepared to include the main list of targeted analytes.
and Mix 2 includes the additional compounds to consider per AOAC 2023.003 for easy and accurate analysis.
