Fitz Scientific are pleased to announce that our method for the analysis of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in potable, surface and groundwaters has been granted ISO 17025 accreditation. This is a significant technical development by our Research and Development team, and a first for any testing laboratory in Ireland.
These persistent "forever chemicals" pose significant risks to human health due to their bioaccumulation.
PFAS are highly resistant to degradation and are known to persist in the environment and the human body. These chemicals are suspected of causing serious health concerns, and regulatory limits on their concentration in water are set in the EU Drinking Water Regulations – SI 99 2023. From 11th January 2026 a limit for the maximum allowable concentration of PFAS compounds will apply to water intended for human consumption.
Fitz Scientific uses cutting-edge LCMSMS technology combined with in-house sample preparation methods to offer extremely low detection limits, with some compounds detected at levels as low as 1 part per trillion. This INAB accredited method provides precise and reliable analysis, helping water utilities, industry and environmental agencies monitor PFAS contamination in various water sources. Fitz Scientific is also advancing its application for full accreditation of this method.
