ZBT Expands Its Analytical Capabilities with an HPLC-QTOF Mass Spectrometer

The new system enables both the precise quantification of known compounds and the screening of suspect and non-target compounds. This will allow us to detect and identify previously unknown PFAS species in the future, in addition to routine PFAS analysis, such as for PFAS-20 and PFAS-4.

This advanced analytical method is particularly relevant for studying ionomer degradation in fuel cells and electrolysers. It helps recognise degradation products, better understand degradation mechanisms, and more comprehensively assess potential contaminant inputs.

At Hy-Lab, we test hydrogen for trace impurities and develop analytical methods that meet the highest quality standards. We are also increasingly focusing on PFAS and other organic pollutants.
