Determining PFCAs in environmental matrices is challenging because they are typically present at ng L⁻¹ levels and tend to adsorb onto materials like filtration membranes, causing significant losses during analysis. To address these challenges, a thin-film microextraction (TFME)-coated vial was designed for PFCA (C5–C10) extraction, coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Glass was selected as the support material due to its low adsorption rate and superior chemical resistance compared to other polymers. The TFME coating, made from a weak anion exchange resin and polyacrylonitrile (10 % w/w) as a binder polymer, effectively extracts analytes from complex matrices while minimizing co-extraction of interfering macromolecules.
