- Sample Matrix: bovine, porcine, poultry, and Siluriformes muscle and bovine plasma
- Sample Preparation: protein precipitation extraction
- Detection Technique: UHPLC-MS/MS
Screening, Determination, and Confirmation of PFAS by UHPLC-MS-MS
USDA Method CLG-PFAS 2.04 is used for the analysis of 16 PFAS in bovine, porcine, poultry, Siluriformes muscle samples, and in bovine plasma samples. It combines a methanol-based protein precipitation extraction with UHPLC-MS/MS analysis on a C18 column. The method is performance based and allows equivalent equipment, reagents, or solutions to be used, and some instrument parameters can be optimized as detailed in the method to improve chromatography and detection. The full analyte list and recommended products for PFAS analysis in bovine, porcine, poultry, Siluriformes muscle, and bovine plasma samples by CLG-PFAS 2.04 are provided below.
