Ever thought about PFAS testing, while still in the field? When it comes to PFAS field testing, traditional methods reveal only a fraction of the problem. The EPA-approved testing methods, such as EPA 1633, 537.1, and 533, can detect specific PFAS compounds but often capture just the “tip of the iceberg” of these persistent chemicals – the most being 40 compounds. Below the surface, thousands of other PFAS compounds remain undetected. This is where FREDsense‘s groundbreaking FRED-PFAS™ sensor steps in. We deliver a more comprehensive approach to PFAS analysis that can be conducted directly in the field.
The Challenge: Long Waits and Limited Scope of Traditional PFAS Testing
Conventional PFAS testing methods provide critical data but are limited in scope, and require samples to be sent to laboratories. After waiting as long as weeks for results, stakeholders get information that is primarily focused on certain well-studied compounds, leaving a significant portion of PFAS contamination unmeasured.
Why test for these compounds? Many PFAS precursors eventually break down into harmful forms now being regulated. Testing can also reveal other compounds, giving insight into the source of contamination. Since different PFAS were used historically at various times and for different purposes, understanding what’s present helps make more informed decisions.
The Solution: FRED-PFAS™ Field Testing Sensor – Seeing Below the Surface
FREDsense’s FRED-PFAS™ sensor is designed to detect more than just the top layer of PFAS contamination. This information is particularly important for field applications where rapid PFAS field testing is essential for real-time decision-making. Whether you’re mitigating contamination, treating water, or determining further analysis steps. FRED-PFAS™ allows you to act swiftly and confidently, reducing the risk of costly delays or incomplete assessments.
By providing both lab-grade precision and real-time PFAS field testing, FRED-PFAS™ is transforming the way PFAS analysis is done.
