摘要：AbstractPer- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic organic compounds that over the past several years, have witnessed a dramatic increase in scientific attention. As PFAS are predominantly accumulated in plasma, monitoring individual burden levels in plasma are typically achieved via some combination of protein precipitation and/or solid phase extraction (SPE), either in online or offline modes. This work describes an updated PFAS extraction workflow, using 96-well plate technology and protein precipitation that is rapid, simple, inexpensive, and amenable for large cohort studies. In brief, plasma proteins were precipitated using methanol and the resulting centrifuged supernatant was directly analyzed using UHPLC-MS/MS. We monitored 51 PFAS, which were quantified via isotope dilution and the effectiveness of the method was demonstrated by using NIST blood-based Standard Reference Materials (SRMs). This method resulted in recoveries ranging between 70 and 89% for all analytes. The 96-well design exhibited low limits of detection and only required sample volumes of 100 µL, thus resulting in an amenable method for high-throughput plasma/serum PFAS screening.• PFAS were directly quantified in plasma and serum samples;• No SPE needed after protein precipitation;• SRMs can be used to validate PFAS measurement in plasma/serum.Graphical abstractDisplay Omitted
