In October 2024, the Kibichuo Town in Japan started mass blood testing of PFAS after detecting high water contamination levels. This shows that there is a growing trend toward early detection of diseases. Furthermore, the direct-to-consumer PFAS blood test that Quest Diagnostics launched in February 2024 also helped to expand access to screening. These developments represent a shift from a focus on the environment to individual testing. Higher public awareness will further drive the demand for PFAS detection in wellness and clinical settings.
Technological advancements enhancing detection precision: Recent advancements in analytical techniques and instrumentation are enhancing the capacity and precision of PFAS identification. Lummus Technology launched PFAS testing services at Green Circle Labs in October 2024 with the ability to detect PFAS at the level of parts per trillion. Likewise, Waters Corporation introduced Oasis WAX/GCB cartridges in March 2024 to enhance sample preparation efficiency and quality. These tools manage contamination factors and guarantee compliance with the corresponding regulatory requirements. The application of the enhanced LC-MS/MS systems and cartridge-based sample preparation systems is increasing lab productivity. These improvements are crucial as testing increases in terms of matrices involving water, soil, and products that people use in their daily lives.

Challenges

Diverse sample matrices and analytical complexity: The diversity of the sample matrix, from water and soil to cosmetic products and blood, also contributes to the difficulty in standardizing PFAS testing. However, achieving high accuracy at low detection thresholds for multiple compounds in the PFAS family is technically demanding. International differences also affect the comparability of results across countries because of variations in the methods used. Due to the dynamic nature of the PFAS testing market, it is essential for laboratories to adapt to new rules and regulations by upgrading their equipment. This puts operational pressure, especially on small-scale theatres. These limitations will have to be addressed through the ongoing process of standardization of global standards and the enhancement of the workflow solutions.
Public trust and legal liability risk: The increasing number of PFAS-related litigation cases and the focus on media coverage are increasing the pressure on test accuracy and data. In February 2025, Santa Clara County initiated one of the largest lawsuits against manufacturers such as 3M and DuPont for PFAS contamination. In such scenarios, both the labs and the product companies are exposed to reputational and legal risks whenever testing is substandard or partial. A lack of accurate results might result in penalties for non-compliance and loss of trust from consumers. This has led to a heightened requirement for validated and certified testing solutions, thus increasing the legal admissibility of data. It is therefore as important to develop confidence in PFAS data among consumers and institutions as it is to have the technical capability to detect it.
