ProfilerFAnalyzer for AOF by US EPA Draft Method 1621
In April 2022, the US EPA drafted Method 1621, a screening method for the determination of adsorbable organic fluorine (AOF) in aqueous matrices by combustion ion chromatography (CIC). While CIC and LC-MS/MS both require sample preparation, measurement by CIC is slightly easier than LC-MS/MS and doesn’t require nearly as much data analysis and interpretation.

Optimized for Fluorine Analysis
Following the multi-lab validation, the EPA will finalize Method 1621 adding performance criteria. The ProfilerF Analyzer for AOF is configured specifically for AOF analysis, optimized to handle unknown fluoride concentrations. The system includes:
- Patented combustion tube technology designed for fluorinated samples
- EPA 1621 prescribed analytical and guard columns
- Water delivery system capable of introducing reagent water at a controlled rate
- Equipment for continuous eluent generation
- MagIC Net software for seamless control of combustion and chromatography hardware
- Comprehensive three-year warranty on full system
