Demonstration of Low PFAS Background Associated with the TurboVap® LV Automated Solvent Evaporation System

Environmental laboratories require a system which is clean, reliable, and affordable to evaporate the extracts resulting from the preparation of samples for PFAS testing. This document will outline a protocol that was developed for the TurboVap® LV system to evaporate extracts in methanol to dryness consistent with typical environmental PFAS procedures. It will also show data resulting from this protocol which demonstrates the cleanliness of the system for PFAS compounds using a sample analogue.
