A New Technology for Direct Analysis of Fluorinated Compounds in Environmental and Pharmaceutical Applications
FY 2024-25 · 2024-09-01
Summary
This project proposes a completely new technology for analysis of fluorine and fluorinated compounds with high accuracy and reliability using the first-ever compact, hybrid ICP-MS. Fluorine plays a critical role in various industrial, medicinal, and everyday applications. But there are currently no universal methods for quantification of fluorinated compounds. Our technology creates an opportunity for the first time to investigate the possibility of analyzing fluorine with high sensitivity at concentrations relevant to pharmaceutical, environmental, agrochemical, and food testing. This technology turns Kimia to a worldwide leader and contributes to Canada's economy through the production, sale, and export of high-tech instruments.

Fluorine plays a critical role in various industrial, medicinal, and everyday applications. But there are currently no universal methods for quantification of fluorinated compounds.

Description (French)
Ce projet propose une technologie entièrement nouvelle pour l’analyse du fluor et des composés fluorés avec une précision et une fiabilité élevées en utilisant le tout premier ICP-MS hybride compact. Le fluor joue un rôle essentiel dans diverses applications industrielles, médicales et quotidiennes. Mais il n’existe actuellement aucune méthode universelle de quantification des composés fluorés. Notre technologie permet pour la première fois d’étudier la possibilité d’analyser le fluor avec une grande sensibilité à des concentrations pertinentes pour les tests pharmaceutiques, environnementaux, agrochimiques et alimentaires. Cette technologie fait de Kimia un leader mondial et contribue à l’économie canadienne par la production, la vente et l’exportation d’instruments de haute technologie.
