Certified Cartridges for PFAS Sample Preparation

FMS Certified Cartridges are contaminant-free solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges engineered specifically for PFAS sample preparation in water, soil, biosolids, and food matrices. Tested and validated for EPA Methods 533, 537.1, and 1633, each cartridge delivers high recovery, clean blanks, and reproducible performance—ensuring consistent and defensible analytical results.

Compatible with all FMS extraction systems—including TurboTrace® (wastewater), EconoTrace® (drinking water), and the FMS PFAS Starter Kit (semi-automated)—these certified cartridges integrate seamlessly into any regulated PFAS testing workflow, offering both flexibility and precision.

Designed for unmatched accuracy, reliability, and confidence in PFAS analysis, our cartridges provide certified clean blank performance with every batch and support high-throughput operations in compliance with the most demanding regulatory methods.

Whether you’re testing drinking water, surface water, industrial wastewater, biosolids, sludge, food, soil, or sediments, FMS Certified Cartridges ensure consistent performance throughout the entire PFAS sample preparation process.

External Regulatory Resources

For additional guidance on EPA Method 533, 537.1, and 1633, and their approved SPE cartridge usage, see:

• EPA Drinking Water Laboratory Methods – Method 533 & 537.1

• EPA Method 1633A – Validated PFAS method for environmental matrices

These methods outline cartridge specifications, SPE performance, QA/QC expectations, and regulatory requirements—highlighting the importance of using certified clean blank performance cartridges for accurate and reproducible PFAS data.

Key Advantages

• ✅ Purity You Can Trust
  Certified clean to eliminate background PFAS—minimizing interference and reducing false positives in ultra-trace analysis.

• ✅ Outstanding Recovery & Precision
  Optimized sorbent blends maximize PFAS extraction and meet rigorous QA/QC standards, supporting EPA Methods 533, 537.1, 1633, and Total Oxidizable Precursor (TOP) assays.

• ✅ Advanced Dual‑Sorbent Design
  The WAX + GCB (graphitized carbon black) dual-bed configuration streamlines workflows and enhances recovery even in complex matrices, matching or exceeding combined SPE/dSPE methods.

• ✅ Full Workflow Versatility
  Available in WAX, HLB, and proprietary PureWAX™-PFAS formulations across multiple sizes (1, 3, 6 mL to 15–65 mL) to suit both low- and high-volume EPA protocols.

• ✅ Reliable Quality Assurance
  Like top-tier dual-phase products, our cartridges undergo PFAS‑specific recovery and cleanliness testing to ensure consistent low-background performance.

  Why FMS Certified PFAS Cartridges Are a Cut Above

  • Workflow Integration – Designed to plug-and-play with all FMS systems for streamlined operation.

  • Certifiably Clean – Eliminates PFAS background, lowering detection limits and improving signal clarity.

  • Method & Matrix Flexibility – Covers all major EPA and food testing protocols across a wide range of sample types.

  • Efficient Dual‑Sorbent Design – Matches the efficiency of separate SPE plus carbon cleanup but with faster, simplified workflows.
