We have started a testing service to measure PFAS concentrations in blood starting from June 2024.
In recent years, environmental pollution and human exposure caused by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have garnered attention. Conducting blood tests is important to understand the exposure situation of PFAS. 【Test Items】 1. Simple quantitative test for PFOS and PFOA 2. Precise quantitative test for specific PFAS (PFOS, PFOA, PFHxS) and PFNA 3. Customized testing (testing for PFAS other than PFOS and PFOA) *Consultation required ◇Test Specifications Sample: Blood (whole blood, serum, plasma) can be tested even if hemolyzed. Required sample volume: 1 mL Quantification limit: 0.5 ng/mL *Upon request, analysis of PFAS other than PFOS and PFOA, testing with small sample volumes, and testing of samples other than blood are also possible. Please contact us for details. <Notes> - This testing service is intended for research purposes. Please be careful not to use it for clinical diagnosis or treatment of humans or animals. - Inquiries from individuals are not accepted, so please understand in advance.

basic information
**Reference: Current Status of PFAS Regulations** PFAS has been used in a wide range of applications, including everyday products, but concerns have been raised about its harmfulness due to its persistence and accumulation. In July 2023, the Ministry of the Environment announced plans to expand blood tests, which were previously limited to residents of certain areas, to a nationwide scale. Additionally, in Europe and the United States, reference values for blood concentration have been established, indicating that levels below 2 ng/mL are not considered to have health impacts. The quantification limit of 0.5 ng/mL for MST makes this evaluation possible.
