Perfluorohexanoic acid may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in the following:
- biological samples using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection
- dissolved/particulate phases of wastewater and sewage sludge using liquid chromatography-electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS)
- whole blood samples using high-performance liquid chromatography- negative electrospray single quadrupole mass spectrometry (HPLC/ES-MS)
