PFAS, per- & polyfluoroalkyl substances
Certified reference standards prepared by Wellington LaboratoriesOur reagents enable PFAS substances to be analysed accurately, reliably and in compliance with international standards.
Our reagents for your PFAS analyses
The reference standards developed by Wellington Laboratories are intended for public and private laboratories, organisations and professionals who need to identify PFAS present in various media (water, air, soil, sediment, biota, etc.). PFAS are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that are potentially dangerous to health and the environment, and are subject to increased regulation and monitoring. Wellington Laboratories’ reagents enable these analyses to be carried out accurately, reliably and in compliance with international standards.
BCP Instruments is the exclusive distributor of the entire range for France and Belgium.
To help you carry out your PFAS analyses, we offer you all the references in the Wellington catalogue, which you can consult online or download in PDF format. Contact us using the form below to obtain a quote.
L’expertise des Laboratoires Wellington
Analyse des PFAS : l’importance des standards analytiques pour une évaluation fiable.
L’analyse des PFAS dans les différents milieux (eau, air, sols, sédiments, biote, etc.) est donc essentielle pour évaluer leur présence, leur origine, leur devenir et leur impact. Pour réaliser cette analyse, il est nécessaire de disposer de standards analytiques, c’est-à -dire des substances de référence qui permettent de calibrer les instruments de mesure et de vérifier la qualité des résultats. Les standards analytiques peuvent être natifs, c’est-à -dire identiques aux PFAS présents dans l’environnement, ou bien marqués au carbone 13 (13C), c’est-à -dire enrichis avec cet isotope stable du carbone, qui permet de les distinguer des PFAS naturels et d’éviter les interférences.
Les Laboratoires Wellington : des mélanges de standards analytiques pour les PFAS en conformité avec les protocoles reconnus.
Depuis 2004, les Laboratoires Wellington s’intéressent à ces substances et enrichissent leur gamme de standards analytiques pour les PFAS, natifs ou marqués au carbone 13. Ils ont préparé des mélanges de standards en conformité avec les méthodes EPA 533, 537, 1633, EU 5813 et ISO 21675 qui sont des protocoles reconnus pour l’analyse des PFAS.
Ces mélanges contiennent les principaux PFAS ciblés par la réglementation, tels que le PFOA (acide perfluorooctanoïque) et le PFOS (sulfonate de perfluorooctane), ainsi que d’autres PFAS émergents, tels que le GenX (acide perfluoro-2-propoxypropanoïque) et l’ADONA (acide perfluoro-3,6-dioxaheptanoïque).
Les Laboratoires Wellington : des réactifs de haute qualité pour une analyse fiable, précise et sécurisée.
Les réactifs des Laboratoires Wellington sont de haute qualité (pureté > 98%) et conformes aux normes en vigueur. Tous les CRM sont certifiés ISO 9001, ISO/IEC 17025, et ISO 17034.
De plus, chaque ampoule livrée est accompagnée du certificat d’analyse qui indique notamment la pureté, la concentration, la stabilité et la traçabilité du standard. Ces réactifs sont approuvés par de nombreux laboratoires et organismes officiels, qui témoignent de leur satisfaction et de leur confiance. C’est pourquoi en choisissant les standards analytiques des Laboratoires Wellington, vous bénéficiez d’une expertise reconnue et d’un service personnalisé.

Find out more about PFAS
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkylated substances) pose numerous challenges for the protection of health and the environment. Their analysis requires specialised techniques because of their chemical stability and low concentration in environmental samples.
This is why we offer high-quality solutions and standards for your PFAS analyses, facilitating the detection and quantification of these compounds in a variety of samples.
What are per- & polyfluoroalkylated substances (PFAS)?
PFASs are synthetic chemicals that all have very stable carbon-fluorine bonds. They form a large family of over 4,000 chemical compounds, also known as persistent pollutants (POPs).
Why this name? Because these substances are extremely persistent and accumulate everywhere: in soils, water, animals and humans. In fact, they are so resistant that they can remain in the environment for thousands of years, without degrading or dissipating.
PFAS, persistent organic pollutants (POPs)
These substances have a wide range of uses: protective coatings for clothing, furnishings, food packaging, non-stick pans, waterproofing sprays, fire-fighting foams, etc. In addition, because they are highly volatile, they easily contaminate foodstuffs, surface water and groundwater, and are found a long way from where they are produced.
For example, traces of PFAS have been detected in the drinking water of over 200 million people in the United States, in the breast milk of women in Kenya and in the blood of seals and polar bears in the Arctic. This is why they are described as eternal pollutants and are also categorised as persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
Regulation of PFAS in France
PFASs are considered to be endocrine disruptors, i.e. substances that interfere with the hormonal system and can cause adverse health effects such as cancer, immune, metabolic or reproductive disorders. It is therefore necessary to strengthen the regulation, monitoring and management of these compounds, and to develop safer and more environmentally-friendly alternatives. Following on from the Stockholm Convention, ratified by France in 2004, and the REACH Regulation in Europe, changes to the regulatory framework are planned between now and 2026 to reduce PFAS emissions and ban non-essential uses.
