PFAS testing in drinking water comes at a price: six-figure instruments, specialized staff, and contamination controls that don’t come standard. Depending on sample load and turnaround needs, outsourcing may offer better value—and fewer headaches.
Based on a webinar discussion between a public health scientist and a contract lab director, this resource offers side-by-side views on how labs with different mandates approach PFAS testing. They share priorities around data quality, sample preparation, and long-term planning, giving lab teams a peer-informed lens on one of the toughest decisions in environmental testing today.
