PFAS Testing for the Pharmaceutical Industry

Protect patients. Ensure compliance. Defend your supply chain.

PFAS contamination in pharmaceutical products, excipients, or manufacturing processes can pose serious regulatory and reputational risks. ADPEN provides ISO/IEC 17025-accredited PFAS testing using validated EPA methods and the flexibility to support complex matrices with custom solutions.

Why PFAS Matters in Pharma

  • Regulatory agencies are tightening limits on PFAS exposure in food, water—and increasingly, pharmaceutical products.

  • APIs, excipients, and packaging can be PFAS contamination sources.

  • Manufacturing equipment and cleaning agents may contribute trace residues.

  • Cross-contamination risks are rising as PFAS scrutiny expands globally.

Whether you're developing a drug product or monitoring existing supply chains, understanding PFAS risk is now essential.
