Confirmatory Analysis of Per and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances in Milk and Infant Formula Using UHPLC-MS/MS

Quoted values stay tied to the cited study. Empty sections are gaps.

Summary

A method-validation paper also reports a real-sample application. The infant-formula PFBS concentration is retained from that application.

Key numbers

Source-reported values checked against the cited page of the filed PDF. Values are reported as printed, without conversion. These are selected records, not an exhaustive transcription.

Evidence Fitness

Methods (brief)

Simplified QuEChERS without dispersive SPE; UHPLC-MS/MS negative ESI triple-quadrupole time-managed MRM (PDF p.13 sections 4.2.3 and 4.3).

Targets as printed or genericized: L-PFBS; PFBA; PFDA; PFDoA; PFDS; PFHpA; PFHxA; PFHxS; PFNA; PFOA; PFOS; PFPeA; PFTeDA; PFTrDA; PFuDA (PDF p.4 Table 1; names p.12).

Limitations

Per-sample occurrence Table S3 is absent; the body supports only limited formula-specific extraction. Mass basis is printed ng kg−1, with no ready-to-feed or dry-basis conversion inferred. Breastmilk reference-material results are not infant-formula findings. No conversions, risk thresholds, representativeness claims, or safety conclusions are added.

Provenance notes

Local staged PDF copied unchanged. DOI checked in deposited PDF against MANIFEST; no external resolution attempted. Title and citation metadata checked against the PDF first page.

See the cell MISMATCHES.csv for unresolved discrepancies. The legacy MANIFEST analyte field is discovery metadata, not an audited target list.
