Our November/December edition of The Analytical Scientist is all about the Innovation Awards! Find out which analytical advances are set to open doors in 2023 – and beyond. In our In My View section, Kevin Schug and Steve Martin discuss interdisciplinary collaboration, and Janusz Pawliszyn talks sustainability. Moving into the Core Topics, we hear from Rachel Carling on the lessons learnt from Operation Moonshot, Tom Walter at Waters discusses all things HPLC, and six SciX speakers discuss the trends in spectroscopy – from killer applications to emerging technology. And finally, we sit down with Frances S. Ligler.
Trends and Challenges in PFAS Analysis
December 7, 2023
We recently asked readers for their thoughts on the challenges involved in per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) analysis. Here, our panel of experts – Marcus Chadha and Day Powell from Agilent, Linx Waclaski from Metrohm USA, and Ruth Marfil- Vega from Shimadzu – discuss the survey findings, share their perspectives on the latest trends and best practices in PFAS analysis, and present a selection of recent PFAS applications.
