Sample Prepara�on ProductFM4: Air Sampler for PFAS

Overview
Air Sampler for PFAS(FM4) is newLow Volume Air Sampler which you
can analyze PFAS in the par�cleand gas in one sampling.
You can achieve comprehensive
analysis in one sampling because
each stage of it has op�mized
material and conﬁgura�on for eachtarget substance.

What’ s PFAS
PFAS (per- and polyﬂuoroalkylsubstances) are groups of synthe�cﬂuorinated chemicals.
They are extensively used in various
industrial and consumer products
because of their extraordinary thermalstability, chemical stability, surfactant
proper�es, etc..
However, some substances in PFAS are
regulated by the Stockholm Conven�on(POPs Conven�on). There arethousands of types of PFAS in theenvironment, and there is s�ll li�ledata in the ambient air, so it isnecessary to urgently clarify the actualsitua�on.

FeatureComprehensive
Sampling Device
Both a par�culate substance and agaseous substance can be collected
simultaneously with one compact
sampler.Since it is possible to evaluate
the collec�on amount for each material,
comprehensive evalua�on is possible.

Capable of Collec�ng
Gaseous PFAS (FTOH, etc.)
The collec�on of gaseous PFASs in the air,which was diﬃcult to collect, is now
possible with the newly ac�vated carbon
desorp�on material.

Excellent Recovery
We have achieved recovery rates forvarious PFAS

Compact and Portable
A lightweight and compact air samplerthat is easy to carry and does not take upmuch ﬂoor space.
