EnviroMail 141 Australia - Perth Laboratory now NATA accredited for PFAS
Due to increased demand in analysis for PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkylated substances), ALS is now offering NATA accredited PFAS analysis in Perth, specifically to service the demands of the West Australian market.
PFAS Analysis Capabilities
Perth will be transitioning to perform PFAS in soils and PFAS in water with standard LORs for the rest of the year and in the New Year will introduce the PFAS in Water method compliant to 99% ANZECC. Please contact client services if accelerated TAT are required.

National Coverage – PFAS Analysis
ALS has offered PFAS analysis for many years firstly out of our Sydney laboratory and then Brisbane and Melbourne. The addition of NATA accredited PFAS analysis capabilities at the Perth laboratory further enhances the availability of local analysis in Western Australia.
ALS has the largest geographical footprint for this analysis in the country. Local capabilities facilitate and present opportunity for express turnaround of results for PFAS determinations.
The methodologies used across all ALS PFAS facilities are compliant with the specifications contained within the Department of Defence Quality Systems Manual 5.3 (Table B15).
Technical Support
ALS has a relatively long involvement in PFAS analysis and over this time has published, in the form of ALS Enviromails, a considerable amount of information about these compounds. Below is a list of such Enviromails containing information that may be of interest and use to the industry practitioner.
