Cytiva syringe filters for PFAS analysis

PFAS, often called “forever chemicals,” are increasingly detected in environmental and analytical samples—and accurate testing starts with the right sample preparation.

In this video, we walk through why syringe filtration is a critical step in PFAS analysis, helping protect your column, safeguard your instrument, and most importantly, avoid background contamination. You’ll also learn how different membrane types perform and why selecting low-background syringe filters is essential for reliable, reproducible results—especially when working with EPA Method 1633.

What you’ll learn:

Why filtration is essential before HPLC analysis?
How syringe filters protect columns and instruments?
The importance of low PFAS background in filters.
Suitable membrane options for PFAS workflows.
