Automated Sample Prep: Transforming the Future of PFAS Analysis

Available on Demand

Discover a new benchmark for automated PFAS sample preparation.

By viewing this presentation you will:

  • Explore the capabilities of three leading automated SPE platforms—Biotage® Extrahera™ family, Biotage® PrepXpert-8, and Biotage® Horizon 5000—and understand how each integrates into different PFAS sample preparation.
  • Gain actionable insights into PFAS applications (DIN EN 17892, EPA 1633A, 533, and 537.1) using Biotage® PrepXpert-8, supported by performance data on detection limits, precision, and accuracy.
  • Learn strategies to boost laboratory efficiency through automation, optimized sorbent chemistries (EVOLUTE® PFAS+ and EVOLUTE® WAX/GCB), and automated cleaning protocols that minimize contamination and carryover.

Event Overview

PFAS testing demands precise, reliable, and contamination-free sample preparation across diverse matrices. This presentation introduces the Biotage® PrepXpert-8, the newest addition to the Biotage® automated solid phase extraction (SPE) portfolio, designed to deliver unmatched versatility for PFAS analysis. Registrants will begin with a comparative overview of three Biotage® automation platforms—the  Biotage® Extrahera™ family, Biotage® PrepXpert-8, and Biotage® Horizon 5000—before exploring the innovative features unique to the  Biotage® PrepXpert-8.

The session covers practical applications for key PFAS methods, including DIN EN 17892, EPA 1633A, 533, and 537.1, supported by performance data on method detection limits, precision, and accuracy. We also examine the role of advanced sorbent chemistries, such as EVOLUTE® PFAS+ and EVOLUTE® WAX/GCB, in achieving low background levels and robust recoveries.

Beyond analytical performance, the presentation highlights operational benefits for laboratories—showing how automation, higher throughput, and integrated cleaning procedures can reduce contamination risks, eliminate carryover, and boost daily efficiency. Watch to discover how the Biotage® PrepXpert-8 completes the Biotage® SPE portfolio and sets a new benchmark for automated PFAS sample preparation.
