Researchers at the University of Kansas have developed a faster and more cost-effective method for detecting PFAS in drinking water. The approach combines optimized fast-flow solid-phase extraction with Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry, reducing the time needed to concentrate water samples before analysis. According to the study, a 500-milliliter sample that previously required about 100 minutes to load can now be processed in roughly six minutes, helping improve testing efficiency without compromising detection sensitivity. The research may also support the future development of portable concentrating devices, which could reduce the need to transport large water samples to laboratories and make PFAS monitoring more efficient for utilities, labs and water quality professionals.
