Tackling PFAS Extraction for Solid Matrices with Microwave Technology

PFAS analysis of soils, biosolids and tissue is rapidly expanding under EPA Method 1633A and international equivalents. Traditional extraction techniques often fall short on efficiency and efficacy. This presentation explores microwave-based extraction workflows for PFAS in solid matrices such as soils, biosolids, tissue and consumer goods, highlighting advantages in speed, handling and contamination control. Real-world examples demonstrate how adopting advanced workflows improves consistency, reduces error-prone steps, and ensures compliance. Attendees will gain practical insight into preparing for evolving regulatory frameworks in environmental and product testing labs.
