Introduction
In France, TERA Environnement is breaking new ground in outdoor air analysis, using the PerkinElmer QSight® LC/MS/MS system to measure PFAS contamination with unmatched sensitivity and minimal sample prep. By leveraging the QSight system’s StayClean™ Source technology, TERA has reduced quantification limits by up to 100x compared to other LC/MS/MS instruments, paving the way for standardized air testing methods across Europe.
With a streamlined workflow, reduced consumable use, and higher throughput, TERA is setting a new benchmark for PFAS research while contributing directly to environmental policy and public health initiatives.
In this customer story, learn how TERA Environnement was able to:
- Obtain up to 100x Lower Detection Limits – Achieved with QSight LC/MS/MS versus traditional instruments, enabling breakthrough PFAS air monitoring.
- Minimize Sample Prep, Maximize Efficiency – Direct injection workflow reduces contamination risk, solvent use, and preparation time.
- Drive Policy with Innovation – TERA’s validated methods are informing future regulation and standardization across Europe.
