Sodium Perfluoro-1-propanesulfonate L-PFPrS
Produced by Wellington Laboratories; Supplied by Greyhound Chromatography
Aqueous Film Foaming Foams (AFFF) are a group of fire-fighting foams containing perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that have been utilised for fire extinguishment and vapour supression by facilities handling large quantities of flammable hydrocarbon liquids (eg. airports, storage terminals, refineries etc.) since the 1970's . It has been documented that perfluoro-1-propanesulfonate can be present in some AFFF formulations at levels as high as 3.5% of the total perfluoroalkanesulfonic acid (PFSA) concentration. In fact, recent detection of ultra-short PFSAs in ground water has elevated scientific interest in current environmental levels, steady-state human exposure, and the environmental fate of these compounds. For this reason, Wellington Laboratories has prepared an analytical reference standard for sodium perfluoro-1-propanesulfonate (L-PFPrS) to aid researchers in both metho0d development and qualification.
For over 30 years Greyhound Chromatography has been supplying high quality Chromatography consumables to laboratories around the world. Greyhound’s extensive range covers all areas of Environmental, Petrochemical, Food, Forensics, Chemical and Pharmaceutical analysis. Backed by a highly experienced technical services team, Greyhound is the preferred source amongst today’s analysts.

Wellington also offer a variety of calibration sets and support solutions designed to be used for common regulatory methods of modified in-house methods.
Wellington Laboratories are committed to the distribution of quality products as well as the maintenance of excellent customer service. In fact, in order to provide your customers with the best possible service, Wellington have three ISO certifications (ISO 9001:2008, ISO/IEC 17025:2005, and ISO Guide 34:2009) which cover all aspects of planning, production, testing, distribution, and post-distribution service. These certifications allow Wellington Laboratories to monitor and maintain the highest level of quality and service and also allow their customers to satisfy the requirements of their own ISO certifications.
Wellington’s ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation has been certified by the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation Inc. (CALA) the scope is available for review on the CALA Directory of Accredited Laboratories (http://www.cala.ca).
Similarly, Wellington’s ISO Guide 34:2009 accreditation has been certified by ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB), the certificate and scope are available on their website (http://anab.org/).
We are able to supply hard copies of any of the ISO certificates for yourself and your customers.

Individual PCDDs and PCDFs : Native and Mass-Labelled
Wellington offers a wide variety of native and mass-labelled polychlorinated dioxin and furan congeners to meet your analytical needs.
Whenever possible, our compounds are synthesized using unambiguous, one-product synthetic routes and are provided to you at a purity of 98% or greater. In addition, the 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDDs and PCDFs are traceable to a number of interlaboratory studies dating back to 1991.

PFAS and Other Toxic Chemicals in our Drinking Water
For over 30 years the European Union have worked tirelessly to protect the integrity of our drinking water. EU officials have recently reached a provisional agreement to update the Union's 1998 Drinking Water Directive to tighten up the permissible limits allowed for both PFAS and several other drinking water contaminants, including bisphenol-A, microplastics, lead and chromium. The at the time of writing the European Parliament and Council are still to formally approve the proposal.
European drinking water standards currently far exceed the standards set in the United States but this is a changing picture as state by state new instances of contaminants are emerging. Currently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has only issued a nonenforceable health advisory of 70 ppt for PFOA, formerly used by DuPont to make Teflon, and PFOS, formerly an ingredient in 3M’s Scotchgard. Those compounds are no longer manufactured in the U.S., but they and other PFAS contaminate the drinking water for an estimated 110 million Americans. PFOA, PFOS and some other PFAS chemicals have been linked to cancer, thyroid disease, reproductive and immune system problems, and other health harms.
The european Parliament and the Council of the European Union have released new requirements for the analysis of per- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water intended for human consumption (5813/20). This amendment to Council Directive 98/83/EC included perfluoroalkanesulfonates that are not commercially available. In response to this Wellington Labroatories, Canada, is pleased to announce that its chemists have synthesized, purified, characterized and prepared accurate certified reference standards of the required substances: sodium perfluoro-1-undecanesulfonate (L-PFUds) and sodium perfluoro-1-tridecanesulfonate (L-PFTrDS). Wellington Laboratories have also prepared a native solution/mixture (EU-5813-NSS) that contains all of the PFAS listed in the drinking water directive (5813/20) for your convenience. This solution/mixture can be used in conjunction with two of Wellington's existing mass-labelled PFAS mixtures to easily prepare a calibration set for quantification.
