Automated PFAS water analysis for reliable, high-throughput environmental workflows

PFAS analysis is placing increasing demands on environmental laboratories. Evolving regulations, lower detection limits, growing sample volumes and complex water matrices all make selecting the right analytical workflow more important than ever.

Velaris PFAS Water Automated Workflow

To support laboratories facing these challenges, Velaris has brought together expertise, workflows and analytical solutions from Skalar, GERSTEL, TRACE, LCTech and PromoChrom. The Velaris PFAS Water Resource Page provides a central overview of automated solutions for solid-phase extraction (SPE), extractable organic fluorine (EOF) and adsorbable organic fluorine (AOF), supporting PFAS analysis across drinking water, surface water, groundwater, wastewater and sludge.

For water and environmental laboratories, automation can help standardise sample preparation, reduce manual handling and increase throughput while maintaining reliable trace-level performance. Automated SPE workflows support the enrichment and cleanup of PFAS samples before targeted analysis, while EOF and AOF provide complementary screening options for assessing broader organic fluorine content in aqueous matrices.

PFAS Water Compliance Guide

Laboratories can also access the PFAS Water Compliance Guide, a practical eBook developed to support informed workflow decisions. It brings together guidance on regulatory expectations, analytical standards and matrix-specific challenges, with practical considerations for selecting and implementing SPE, EOF and AOF workflows across simple and complex water matrices.

Register for the Velaris PFAS Water Webinar

The upcoming Velaris webinar, “PFAS Screening in Aqueous Matrices by EOF and AOF Analyses,” will take place on Tuesday, 25 August 2026 at 2:00 PM CEST. Presented by Larissa Ram, Product Manager at TRACE, the session will explain the principles of EOF and AOF analysis, the full AOF sample-preparation workflow and the use of automated Combustion Ion Chromatography for trace-level fluorine determination.
