About

Developed by Dr. Hao Chen at NJIT, an R1 research university, which is at the forefront of PFAS research. PureTrace uses a novel implementation of Paper Spray MS (PS-MS) and Desalting Paper Spray MS (DPS-MS) for rapid PFAS screening across water, soil, and packaging.

Rapid Results: Current testing methodologies require labor-intensive sample preparation, and as a result, labs can take up to 21 days for results. PureTrace Labs can test in under 3 minutes, providing you with results in as little as 48 hours.
Broad screening: Detects the presence of thousands of PFAS, not just a short target list.
Parts-per-trillion screening capability: One of the most sensitive PFAS tests on the market.
Lower cost per screen: Minimal sample prep means fewer consumables and less labor.
Small samples, simple collection: A few drops of water, milligrams of soil, or small packaging cutouts.
