Analyse hexafluoropropylene oxide oligomeric acids (HFPO-DA) with our analytical standards<\/h2>\n

HFPO-DA, or 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro-2-(1,1,2,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropoxy)propanoic acid, is a per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) compound. Its presence in the environment can result from direct discharges during manufacturing processes or from the leaching of commercial products. <\/p>\n

Anticipating concerns about this contamination, in 2013 Wellington Laboratories synthesised native and 13C3-labelled reference standards for HFPO-DA. These standards are essential for researchers carrying out quantitative analyses of this potential contaminant. They are compatible with analytical methods such as liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS), in particular EPA methods 537.1 and 533, which include HFPO-DA among the target analytes.<\/p>\n

GenX, HFPO-DA (hexafluoropropylene oxide-dimer acid), is a by-product of the manufacture of fluoropolymers, used as a substitute for perfluorooctanoic acids (PFOA) in the manufacture of fluoropolymers, such as Teflon. It is often used in industrial applications for its non-stick and heat-resistant properties. <\/p>\n

It can be detected in environmental samples as a result of residual leaks from commercial products or direct releases during manufacturing processes. from commercial products or direct discharges during manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n
