PureTrace Labs can provide its PFAS testing service at one-third the cost of current methodologies.

PureTrace Labs has developed a PFAS testing method using paper spray mass spectrometry that can produce results in under three minutes.

PureTrace Labs is currently funded by the investment fund of NJII, a partner organization of the New Jersey Institute of Technology.

The standard methodology for testing for PFAS contamination takes two to three weeks and costs between $500 and $800 per test.

PureTrace Labs' initial go-to-market strategy targets homeowners and home inspectors, leveraging its rapid one-to-two day turnaround time to fit into real estate transactions.

PureTrace Labs is a startup backed by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and is commercializing a technology invented by Dr. Hao Chen.

It is estimated that up to 84% of households in New Jersey have PFAS in their water.

The EPA estimates that up to 50% of Americans have PFAS in their drinking water.
