📋 PFAS Contract Labs · EPA Method 1633

The PFAS testing mandate is your growth window. myLIMS makes sure your lab is ready to take it.

PFAS rules are expanding across SDWA, CERCLA, RCRA, and the Clean Water Act simultaneously. Every new regulation is another contract you can win — if your lab can absorb new clients without adding headcount or losing traceability.

Why the window is now

PFAS is rewriting every major environmental statute at once.

No contaminant class has ever landed simultaneously across this many federal programs — creating compounding demand for PFAS testing capacity across 2026–2028.

SDWA
Safe Drinking Water Act

PFOA/PFOS MCLs finalized. Compliance extension to 2031 proposed May 2026 — driving multi-year testing-volume growth for drinking water labs.

CERCLA
Superfund

PFOA/PFOS designated hazardous substances, effective July 8, 2024. Expands analyte lists at contaminated sites nationwide.

RCRA
Hazardous Waste

Nine additional PFAS compounds as hazardous constituents. Finalization underway 2026 — new testing obligations at waste sites.

CWA
Clean Water Act

PFAS Effluent Limitations Guidelines NPRMs rolling out across industrial sectors 2026–2028. Adds new PFAS testing lines to permits.

📈

The result: multi-year testing-volume growth across drinking water, wastewater, soil, and groundwater — all at once. Labs that can absorb new PFAS clients efficiently will capture a disproportionate share of that work. The constraint is capacity, not demand.

The real constraint

Your lab’s science isn’t the bottleneck. Your systems are.

Every new PFAS client arrives with its own sample handling requirements, its own acceptance criteria, its own QC expectations, and its own report format.

Multiply that by a growing client roster and the operational load compounds faster than the revenue. Manual re-keying between instruments. One-off spreadsheets for every client standard. Report templates rebuilt from scratch. Chain-of-custody documentation assembled at audit time.

That’s not a science problem — it’s a systems problem.

The labs gaining PFAS market share right now are the ones whose LIMS absorbs client complexity — so the team doesn’t have to.

1 One new client = how many workarounds?

Per-client forms, acceptance limits, and report templates managed manually outside the LIMS — every time.

2 One missed audit finding = lost certification.

ISO 17025 audit readiness that depends on what someone remembered to document this month.

3 One instrument update = another broken integration.

Instrument data flows held together by custom scripts that no one on your current team wrote.

4 One quarter of growth = a hiring plan.

Headcount that scales with clients — because the system can’t absorb the complexity, so people have to.

What changes

myLIMS is built for exactly this kind of growth.

Three things stop being your problem the day your lab goes live on myLIMS.

⚙️

Every client standard runs automatically.

Client-specific acceptance criteria, QC rules, report formats, and chain-of-custody requirements follow each sample from login to result release — without a manual step. Onboard a new PFAS client without building a new workflow.

🔗

One platform. Every instrument. Every site.

Instrument results flow directly into myLIMS. No re-keying, no transcription errors, no ‘did that result transfer?’ questions. The same reliable result on every shift, at every location.

🛡️

ISO 17025 audits from a position of strength.

Every sample event, every QC check, every method deviation, every corrective action — captured, timestamped, and retrievable. When an auditor asks for evidence, it’s already there.

PFAS method support

The methods your clients require. Already built in.

New EPA methods and updates are added through configuration — not a system rebuild or an implementation project.

EPA MethodScopePrimary Client TypesKey Matrices
Method 163340 PFAS compounds in multiple matricesIndustrial, Superfund, DoD remediation, RCRA/CERCLA sitesAqueous, solid, tissue

New methods come into scope. myLIMS adds them through configuration — no reimplementation required.

Customer-reported results.

Built for your whole lab

Every role gets something back.

Lab Manager / Director 

Take on PFAS clients you’d have turned down. The system absorbs the complexity your team doesn’t have bandwidth for.

Quality & Compliance

Audits become a documentation review, not a documentation sprint. Evidence is already captured.

Lab Operations

Fewer handoffs. Less re-keying. Samples don’t fall through the cracks between client accounts.

IT

A platform connected by design. No fragile custom scripts holding instruments and systems together.

Finance / CXO

PFAS revenue grows without margin eroding into headcount. Throughput scales with configuration, not people.

Why myLIMS

Why labs serious about PFAS choose Confience.

Most LIMS decisions look right on paper and wrong in the lab. Here’s what makes the difference.

01

One platform that grows with you.

New PFAS methods, new client standards, new sites — all configuration. Not a new implementation. The platform you start on is the platform you scale on.

02

Implementation that matches your complexity.

Operational assessment → data and method migration → configuration and training → go-live. A managed transition with a Confience team throughout — not a blank-system handoff.

03

One predictable price.

No per-module fees. No surprise invoices every time your PFAS book of business grows. You know your total cost when you sign.

04

A team that knows lab work.

Confience implementation teams come from lab environments. They configure around your actual workflows and PFAS methods — not a generic LIMS template.

How you get there

A managed transition, not a blank-system restart.

We scope and price everything before you commit. Your Confience team is with you from first call through go-live.

01

Operational Assessment

We map how your lab actually runs: methods, instruments, client standards, current systems.

02

Data & Method Migration

Historical data, validated methods, and per-client configurations move across. Nothing gets left behind.

03

Configuration & Training

Workflows, QC rules, report templates, and permissions built around your team — not a generic LIMS setup.

04

Go-Live & Beyond

Continued support as you add PFAS methods, new sites, and new clients.
