Today we officially celebrated the launch of PureTrace Labs, Inc. — the first company to emerge from the NJII Venture Studio in partnership with NJIT. Our technology enables rapid, affordable, and accurate detection of PFAS (“forever chemicals”) in water, soil, and packaging, addressing one of the most urgent environmental challenges of our time. Our sincere gratitude to the NJII Venture Studio team for their guidance, investment, and unwavering support in turning research into real-world impact. We’re proud to build this milestone with NJII, NJIT, and NJEDA. 🌎 Here’s to science in action — and to a cleaner, safer future.

Next Generation PFAS Screening- Fast, Affordable, Accurate
About us
At PureTrace Labs™, we’re transforming how the world detects and understands PFAS “forever chemicals.” Studies show that nearly one in two American homes has detectable PFAS—a family of man-made chemicals linked to serious health and environmental risks, including certain cancers and potential impacts on immune function, hormonal balance, and drinking water quality. Born from the NJII Venture Studio and grounded in Dr. Hao Chen’s research at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), PureTrace is pioneering direct paper spray mass spectrometry (DPS-MS/PS-MS) for ultra-fast, broad-spectrum PFAS detection. Our platform delivers parts-per-trillion analytical sensitivity with the speed and affordability previously out of reach for most users—across water, soil, and food-packaging materials. Whether you’re a homeowner, home inspector, environmental consultant, or municipal water manager, PureTrace provides actionable PFAS answers—without the wait and at an affordable cost. We’re in early commercialization and demonstration, collaborating with home inspectors, consumers, researchers, municipalities, and environmental organizations to bring this next-generation PFAS testing technology from the lab to the field. If you’re interested in pilot projects or demonstrations, we’d love to connect.
