EPA 5035A – SOIL SAMPLING DEVICES AND KITS

EPA SW846 Method 5035A is now mandated for use by many states. This regulatory method’s purpose is to reduce the amount of disturbance when collecting solid/soil samples for the analysis of Volatile Organic compounds (VOC).

C & G Containers is a supplier of three disposable sampling syringe collection devices.

• En Core® Sampler – available in five (5) gram size.
• Terra Core™ Soil Sampler – available in five (5) and ten (10) gram sizes.

C & G Containers also provides a sampling kit that is assembled using the Terra Core™ Soil Sampler and is called C & G’s Terra Core™ Vial Kit. The C & G Kit allows for immediate extrusion of the sample into a variety of pre-preserved 40 ml vials. The kit also includes a 60cc amber bottle for moisture determination and/or VOC screening. The kit can be customized with up to five 40 ml vials. Each vial is available pre-weighed and pre-inoculated with choice of chemical preservative. The available chemical preservatives include Methanol, Sodium Bisulfate, Sodium Phosphate Tribasic, and for effervescent samples, the option of ASTM Type I Deionized water, or a vial may have no preservation. Additionally, a PTFE stir bar may be placed in the 40 mL vials.

All vials are pre-cleaned using cleaning protocol B and certified for VOCs. Plus TICs, a Certificate of Analysis is included in each C & G Terra Core™ Vial Kit.
All orders are custom filled, so 72 hour notice is required.
