Revolutionary Water Testing Technology Delivers Results in Days, Not Weeks

FREDsense has developed the PFAS field test kit, a fast, portable, and easy to use new tool to detect toxic “forever chemicals” in water.

The Opportunity

PFAS contamination affects over 100 confirmed sites in Canada including PFAS-impacted federal contaminated sites such as airports and military facilities that rely on fire fighting of liquid fuel fires. In the US, there are 8,856 confirmed sites in the US alone, creating a $2 billion market opportunity driven by evolving regulations and corporate liabilities. FREDsense’s FRED-PFAS technology could reduce site investigation costs by up to 80% through rapid, on-site detection.

The Challenge

FREDsense needed to advance their FRED-PFAS technology from laboratory validation to commercial readiness by achieving lower detection limits and proving performance in complex industrial matrices. They required field validation with industry partners to demonstrate real-world effectiveness and build the commercial credibility necessary for market entry.

NPC’s Solution

NPC’s support enables FREDsense to accelerate the development of this rapid, field-ready PFAS detection tool through comprehensive field trials with industry partners, technical refinements to achieve lower detection limits, and validation across diverse water matrices – positioning the technology for commercial success in addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.
