- Sample Matrix: serum
- Sample Preparation: online solid-phase extraction
- Detection Technique: LC-MS/MS
Online Solid Phase Extraction-High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Turbo Ion Spray-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (online SPE-HPLC-TISMS/MS)
Method CDC 6304.09 is used for the analysis of 15 PFAS in serum. It combines online solid-phase extraction sample preparation with turbo ion spray LC-MS/MS analysis. Notably, PFOS is analyzed separately as n-perfluorooctane sulfonate (n-PFOS) and the sum of perfluoromethylheptane sulfonate isomers (sm-PFOS). Similarly, PFOA is analyzed as separately as n-perfluorooctanoate (n-PFOA) and the sum of branched perfluorooctanoate isomers (sb-PFOA). The full analyte list and recommended products for PFAS analysis serum by CDC 6304.09 are provided below.
