Screen PFAS in Food Contact Materials with TOF by Combustion-IC


Accelerate compliance screening with a practical, lab-ready workflow for total organic fluorine (TOF) in paper, fiber, and other food contact materials

State restrictions on PFAS in food packaging are expanding, with thresholds like California’s ≤100 ppm TOF for plant fiber-based packaging now in force. This application note shows how an enhanced combustion-ion chromatography (C-IC) setup measures total fluorine (TF) and total inorganic fluorine (TIF) to calculate TOF efficiently—helping labs screen materials against current limits.

What’s inside

  • Discover a validated approach using Combustion-Ion Chromatography (C-IC) with the ease of reagent-free IC RFIC

  • Gain insight into optimized combustion design with reduced handling and run complexity

  • Unlock documented parameters you can adopt for method transfer or validation

  • Conceptualize results demonstrating a practical path to routine TOF screening to support regulatory objectives

Who should read

  • Quality & compliance leads screening paper/fiber packaging for PFAS against evolving state limits
  • Contract and in-house labs needing a reproducible TOF workflow with documented parameters
  • Method developers seeking RFIC-compatible C-IC conditions, consumables, and instrument settings they can implement today
