Sorbisense® PFAS environmental monitoring solutions

Improve your Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) environmental water sampling and analysis with Sorbisense®, the next generation of passive water samplers.

We provide a complete solution, integrating field sampling systems, expert knowledge, and a comprehensive range of accredited laboratory tests.

Industrial and agricultural activities, as well as urbanisation, drive the need for high-quality environmental risk assessments in various parts of the water cycle, such as groundwater, drinking water, and surface water.

Traditional water sampling techniques are complicated and time-consuming, often making them expensive. Worst of all, they either only provide snap-shots of pollution events, or need expensive sampling stations requiring infrastructure and maintenance.

Method principle

Sorbisense® technology offers a cost-effective passive sampling approach, suitable as either a complement to, or potential alternative to, traditional grab sampling methods.

Patented SorbiCell® passive sampling cartridges, used in combination with Sorbisystems field installation units, are deployed in the field for a typical period of 1-4 weeks.

Upon retrieval, the SorbiCell® cartridges are analysed in the laboratory to determine accurate average concentrations, representative of the entire sampling period.

This method can be applied in groundwater, surface water (lakes and streams), wastewater and for PFAS source tracking with the sewer network. Sorbisense® sampling equipment is also available for use in clean water pressurised systems such as borehole pumped outlets.
