LGC Standards Launches New 13C-Labelled PFAS Reference Materials to Support EPA Method 1633 Workflows

LGC Standards today announced the expansion of its Dr. Ehrenstorfer™ PFAS portfolio with new 13C-labelled reference materials specifically developed for EPA Method 1633, including two ready-to-use isotope labelled internal standard (EIS/NIS) mixtures (24 and 7 analytes) and a comprehensive range of single compound solutions. These materials are designed to streamline calibration, improve data quality, and deliver robust, defensible results across aqueous, solid, and biological matrices, enabling laboratories around the world to produce reliable, traceable PFAS measurements.

Thermo Fisher launches Chromeleon 7.4, an enterprise chromatography–MS data system with 21 CFR Part 11 controls

Chromeleon 7.4 is built for networked deployments, consolidating chromatography and targeted MS workflows under one interface across SQ, QQQ, and HRAM instruments. The release adds concurrency and network-failure protection for multiuser labs and introduces tools such as single-scan fragment visualization, simulated isotopic patterns, and multi-consensus reporting to support quantitative screening, Thermo Fisher says. Target applications include biopharma as well as PFAS and pesticide testing in environmental and food labs, with centralized storage and remote instrument control for traceable, compliant operations.

Allbirds Launches Its First-Ever 100% Waterproof Wool Sneakers

Each upper is crafted with Merino wool, treated with a C-Zero DWR (“Durable Water Repellent”). When applied to textiles, this PFAS-free treatment causes water to bead up and roll off, rather than soaking into the fabric. A breathable waterproof membrane is carefully placed between the upper material and interior lining, creating a robust barrier that prevents water from reaching your feet even in the wettest conditions.

Laser-enabled organic coating for sustainable PFAS-free metal surfaces

This study presents a laser-enabled organic coating (LASEO) approach that integrates laser texturing with gel-like carbon dot (G-CD) treatment to develop a PFAS-free alternative for metal surfaces. In this method, nanosecond laser-induced micro/nanostructures enhance coating adhesion, while the G-CD coating provides durable superhydrophilicity and even superwicking behavior.

Planarity Is Not Plain: Closed- vs Open-Shell Reactivity of a Structurally Constrained, Doubly Reduced Arylborane toward Fluorobenzenes

Through experimental and quantum-chemical studies, researchers unveiled the underlying reaction mechanisms and show that Li2[1] acts either as a B-centered nucleophile in an SNAr-type conversion (low benzene fluorination) or as a reducing agent in a single-electron transfer/H atom abstraction sequence (high benzene fluorination).

Facile fabrication of eco-friendly flame retardant and superhydrophobic coatings on cotton fabrics

To address the challenge of the durability of eco-friendly flame retardants coated on fabric surfaces, a coating (SFR) on cotton fabrics combining superhydrophobic, environmentally-benign, durable flame-retardant properties was prepared through sequential dip-coating of ammonium phytate (AP) and N-dodecyltrimethoxysilane-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (D-MSNs), assisted by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) adhesive.
