PFAS Testing
What PFAS Testing Measures
A PFAS test evaluates products for the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS. These synthetic chemicals are widely used for their water- and oil-resistant properties. However, PFAS persist in the environment and may present health concerns.
Pentyl Labs offers PFAS testing for cosmetics, packaging, raw materials, and consumer goods using advanced liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods. This testing targets 545 individual PFAS compounds, including both legacy and emerging substances.
Why PFAS Testing Is Important
PFAS compounds have received increased regulatory and consumer attention worldwide. As a result, manufacturers must understand whether PFAS are present in their products.
PFAS testing helps companies identify contamination sources, verify supplier claims, and support compliance with evolving regulations. In addition, testing supports responsible product development and brand transparency.
Analytical Method Overview
Pentyl Labs uses validated GC-MS and LC-MS/MS methods designed for trace-level PFAS detection. This approach provides high sensitivity and selectivity across a broad range of PFAS chemistries.
Careful sample preparation allows accurate analysis of complex matrices such as creams, liquids, powders, textiles, and packaging materials. Therefore, results remain reliable even in challenging formulations.
Products Commonly Tested
PFAS testing applies to cosmetics, personal care products, packaging, textiles, raw materials, and finished goods. Manufacturers often request testing during product development, reformulation, or prior to market entry.
Testing also supports internal risk assessments and supplier qualification programs. When PFAS are detected, manufacturers can decide whether further compound-specific evaluation or reformulation is required.
How Results Are Used
Test results support regulatory reviews, customer documentation, and internal safety assessments. Companies use the data to determine whether additional PFAS-specific actions are necessary.
PFAS testing is frequently performed alongside Chemical Analysis Services and Total Fluorine Screening to provide a broader understanding of fluorinated content.
Regulatory guidance related to PFAS is published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which monitors PFAS risks and exposure pathways.
Summary
Overall, a PFAS testing laboratory provides essential analytical data that supports product safety, compliance planning, and informed decision-making. LC-MS analysis of 470 target PFAS compounds delivers reliable insight across a wide range of consumer products.
