Welcome to the LGC Standards PFAS Testing Hub

Welcome to our dedicated resource centre for PFAS analysis, where you can find the tools and technical resources you need to stay up-to-date with global PFAS regulations and the latest PFAS testing methods.

The strength of the classic PFAS structure – usually featuring either a perfluorinated methyl or a perfluorinated methylene group – has made them extremely useful in a huge range of manufacturing applications since the 1940s.

But these same PFAS properties also come with significant drawbacks. Their enormously strong carbon-fluorine bonds enable them to resist degradation indefinitely, and to bioaccumulate in water, plants, wildlife, and humans. This has sparked a steady increase in global PFAS regulation, and underlined the vital importance of reliable PFAS testing methods.

You can use this page to source the high-quality CRMs and reference materials, research chemicals and proficiency testing samples you need to enhance your laboratory’s PFAS compliance – whether with essential EPA PFAS methods and directives including EPA 1633 and UCMR 5, or leading EU PFAS regulations such as the Drinking Water Directive. Our ISO/IEC-accredited portfolio is suitable for testing across a wide range of matrices, particularly PFAS water testing and PFAS in food.

Here, you can also read, watch, or download resources from our PFAS thought leadership collection – featuring original whitepapers, articles and videos that share LGC Standards’ four decades of expertise in food and environmental analysis.
