PFAS, Trace Organics, and other

Emerging Contaminants

Monitoring the occurrence of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as well as other emerging contaminants in
industrial wastewater is becoming a routine application to respond to regulatory and public demand. LC-MS is the
gold standard technique for this purpose because of its high sensitivity and selectivity.

Liquid Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer
LCMS-8050

Shimadzu’s LCMS-8050 is ideal for industrial and process
water applications, combining high speed and sensitivity
with a robust, heated inlet capable of handling difficult
matrices. It features:

• High sensitivity with a heated ESI probe for efficient
desolvation and ionization
• Rapid polarity switching, capable of switching
between positive and negative in 5 msec
• Fast scanning across the mass range, capable of
sweeping 30,000 u/sec
