CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORY

From Adsorption to Action: Characterizing PFAS with QCM-D

In the KORES (Karanikola Optimized Research for Environmental Sustainability) lab led by Dr. Vicky Karanikola in the Department of Chemical & Environmental Engineering at the University of Arizona, graduate student McKenna Dunmyer and her colleagues are advancing research on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) using QSense QCM-D.

The team uses QSense sensors coated with engineered sorbent materials to observe PFAS adsorption behavior in real-time, revealing the kinetics of PFAS interactions with organosilane-functionalized surfaces and the roles of electrostatic and hydrophobic forces. Their research aims to build a foundation for better methods to remove these “forever chemicals” from water.
