One-Step PFAS Sample Preparation
One Step PFAS Sample Preparation for food analysis is critical in today’s laboratories as PFAS contamination in food continues to draw increased regulatory and analytical focus. One Step PFAS Sample Preparation must address the complexity of meat, fish, and other challenging food matrices without sacrificing throughput, data quality, or analytical reliability. Robust One Step PFAS Sample Preparation is the foundation of accurate, defensible PFAS testing in food products, and this integrated approach is designed to meet these demands through a streamlined, all-in-one workflow.
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are highly persistent contaminants that present significant analytical challenges, particularly in high-fat and protein-rich matrices such as meat and fish. Conventional PFAS workflows typically rely on multiple independent steps for extraction, cleanup, and concentration, increasing labor requirements, turnaround time, and the risk of contamination or analyte loss.
The PFAS-One-Prep™ platform, powered by One Step PFAS Sample Preparation, combines extraction, purification, and concentration into a single, fully integrated workflow optimized specifically for food, meat, and fish analysis. One Step PFAS Sample Preparation delivers PFAS-ready extracts in under two hours and enables complete PFAS reporting from sample to results in approximately three hours. By minimizing manual handling and reducing contamination risk, One Step PFAS Sample Preparation improves reproducibility, shortens turnaround time, and helps laboratories meet evolving regulatory and compliance requirements with confidence.

Benefits
Accelerated Turnaround Time
Reduce PFAS food testing from many hours—or a full workday—to less than 3 hours, improving laboratory efficiency, cost, and throughput.
Reduced Labor & Operating Costs
A unified workflow means fewer consumables, fewer transfers and significantly lower labor requirements per sample.
Higher Data Quality
Minimal exposure to surfaces and handling lowers contamination risk, resulting in cleaner blanks, lower background and more reliable PFAS quantitation.
Improved Reproducibility
Integrated processing ensures consistent extractions and recoveries, essential for accurate PFAS food analysis across high-fat and protein-rich matrices.
Better Compliance
Supports the preparation of PFAS samples for regulatory and method-compliant LC-MS/MS workflows.
Future-Ready Design
The PFAS-One-Prep™ platform provides a modern, scalable workflow that adapts as your PFAS food-testing program expands.
3-Hour Workflow Diagram
Extract → Clean → Concentrate → LC-MS/MS Ready — All in <3 hours
Key Features
One-Step Integrated Workflow
Performs extraction, cleanup and concentration in one unified process—eliminating multi-step manual handling and greatly reducing preparation time.
Food-Matrix Optimization
Engineered for high-fat and complex food matrices including meat, fish and processed foods. Effectively handles lipids, proteins and interfering compounds that impact PFAS recovery.
From Sample to Results in 3 Hours
Produces PFAS-ready test results in under 3 hours, reducing turnaround time from a full day to a single, simple, and quick batch cycle.
High-Throughput Capacity
Supports parallel processing of multiple samples to meet demanding laboratory workloads and high-volume PFAS food testing programs.
Low-Contamination System Architecture
Closed-container flow paths, PFAS-free components and minimal operator interaction reduce contamination risk, background levels and carry-over.
Validated Recovery & Reproducibility
Delivers consistent, trace-level PFAS recoveries with low RSD across diverse food matrices—meat, fish and composite food samples.
Regulatory-Ready Output
Generates PFAS extracts fully compatible with LC-MS/MS and adaptable to additional food-analysis platforms meeting national and international guidelines.
Easy Operation & Minimal Training
Simple workflow, clear steps and intuitive operation ensure rapid onboarding and fewer user-related errors.
Scalable for Any Laboratory Size
Works seamlessly with manual, semi-automated or fully automated sample-prep systems, allowing flexible expansion as testing volume grows.

PFAS Sample Prep for Food Analysis
Introduction
PFAS sample prep for food analysis is critical in today’s laboratories as PFAS contamination in food continues to draw regulatory and analytical focus. PFAS sample prep for food analysis must handle the complexity of meat, fish and other food matrices without sacrificing throughput or reliability. PFAS sample prep for food analysis is the foundation of accurate, defensible PFAS testing in food products.
PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) are highly persistent contaminants that increasingly pose analytical challenges across food matrices—especially meat and fish. Traditional workflows often require multiple independent steps for extraction, clean-up and concentration, which increase labor, time and risks of contamination or analyte loss.
The PFAS-One-Prep™ system streamlines the entire workflow—extraction, purification, and concentration—into a single integrated sequence optimized specifically for food, meat, and fish. This one-step platform delivers PFAS-ready extracts in under 2 hours, and provides a full PFAS report from sample to results in approximately 3 hours, dramatically improving throughput, minimizing operator handling, and reducing contamination risk. With PFAS-One-Prep™, laboratories achieve highly reproducible results while shortening turnaround time and meeting increasing regulatory demands.
