Our laboratory is actively conducting research on stable isotope ratios of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). We are currently seeking companies, research institutions, and individuals within Japan who may be able to provide the PFAS reference standards or products listed below.

Donated materials will be used for the development of analytical methods aimed at identifying contamination sources and elucidating the environmental fate of PFAS in environmental samples.

Materials Sought

• PFOS – Perfluorooctane sulfonate
• PFOA – Perfluorooctanoic acid
• PFHxS – Perfluorohexane sulfonate
• Other PFAS – any related compounds are welcome

We welcome pure standards, mixed standard solutions, raw materials, or reagents scheduled for disposal. Even small quantities are appreciated.
