Identify and quantify the presence of PFAS, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, with our industry-leading testing services to ensure that your products and operations meet the strictest global regulatory standards.
From environmental monitoring to food safety, consumer products, and industrial applications, our testing solutions are designed to protect public health and the environment.
Long valued for their oil and water repellent properties, PFAS can be found in a wide range of products, from stain and water-resistant fabrics to firefighting foams, and carpet and paper treatments. They are known to cause health problems, including developmental issues, cancer, liver damage, immune system disruption, vaccine resistance, thyroid disease and impaired fertility. Once in the environment these ‘forever chemicals’ disperse easily and do not readily degrade.

As the acknowledged best practice leaders, we were chosen by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop and validate the benchmark reference method for PFAS testing, known as the EPA 1633 method.
