Unravelling PFAS complexity with automation

08 May, 2026

PFAS are making headlines worldwide, affecting places we know and food we eat. Their ubiquity and persistence combined with toxicity and potential mutagenicity make them a global challenge and concern. 

Da Vinci Laboratory Solutions see challenges as opportunities and have asked themselves, ‘can we automate sample preparation for PFAS?’

In their Cambridge laboratory, Da Vinci LS integrates GERSTEL automation with Agilent Technologies analytical platforms to support modern environmental analysis.

Online solid phase extraction (SPE) for relatively clean water samples and extract; dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) for dirty waters, complex extracts, and challenging solids; and online SPE including QuEChERS based workflows, for solids such as solvents, consumables, and instrument components.

Da Vinci Laboratory Solutions continuously develop new automation solutions and applications to meet evolving laboratory needs.
