Perfluorocarbon tracers
Perfluorocarbon tracers (PFTs) are chemically inert, non-toxic, and highly sensitive compounds used for precise tracing and monitoring fluid movement in a wide range of complex systems. Their unique properties have made them indispensable in a variety of industrial and environmental applications, from oil reservoir diagnostics to atmospheric dispersion studies. Below you will see a list of our offerings!
