PFAS

A world leader in testing, ALS has been providing PFAS sample testing and analysis services for over two decades across every type of sample, from soil, water and air to food and packaging. Our work at the forefront of PFAS testing gives us a legacy of knowledge and expertise that offers our clients confidence in our ability to provide fast turnaround times and highly accurate results. 

Constantly staying on top of the latest developments on PFAS enables us to scale up in anticipation of new regulations, standardise practices at our globally unrivaled network of PFAS labs, and keep our clients informed about the global and regional regulations that impact them. 

ALS has new, expanded test suites for 2025 that reduce the risk of underestimating cumulative PFAS, and offer detection limits below the lowest of any global PFAS regulatory guidelines from the USA, Europe, Canada or Australia. Our laboratories apply enhanced internal laboratory segregation and controls throughout the entire measurement process to minimize potential false positives caused by cross-contamination– helping deliver higher-quality data.

PFAS analyses provided by ALS include:

• PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate)
• PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid)
• Perfluoroalkane sulfonic acids 
• Perfluoroalkyl sulfonamides
• Fluorotelomer sulfonic acids
• Perfluoroalkane carboxylic acids
• Total organic fluorine (TOF) – standard level and low level
• TOP Assay (total oxidizable precursor assay)
