This appnote demonstrates that a simplified methanol extraction procedure is sufficient for example solid cosmetics products.
Trace level, non-standard PFAS compounds were extracted and detected in eye shadow and powdered foundation.
The selectivity and sensitivity of the Xevo TQ-S micro Tandem Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer allowed for the detection, quantification, and confirmation of PFAS at trace levels.
The installed PFAS kit on the ACQUITY UPLC I-Class PLUS System helped to eliminate instrument related PFAS contamination and streamlines the analysis of this challenging class of chemical contaminants in routine laboratories.
