Preparation Note

DescriptionRandomly contains a minimum 60% of the analytes listed This standard consists of a 2 mL flame-sealed ampule containing the volatiles in Soil concentrate and a 30 mL ampule containing approximately 30 g of Matrix soil. The solvent for the volatiles in Soil concentrate is Methanol. This standard may not contain all the compounds listed on the Data Reporting Forms. The evaluation of results will be based on study statistics as required by TNI standards. This standard may not contain all the compounds listed on the Report Forms in accordance with TNI standards. For analytes not detected report as zero "0" or a "﹤" and your detection limit. This PT sample is intended for methods USEPA SW846 Method 8240 and 8260 using purge and trap extraction (EPA 5035).Sample Preparation The sample is to be extracted using the solid waste method for sediment/soil using purge and trap. Weigh 5.0 g of the volatiles in Soil Matrix into a sparger cell. Carefully snap the top off the volatiles in the Soil ampule. Using a 25-µL syringe, inject 20 µL of the concentrate into the matrix by placing the syringe tip slightly below the surface of the matrix in the sparger cell. Immediately complete other sample preparation steps such as adding water to the sparger cell and closing the apparatus according to your analytical procedures. Complete the analysis per your normal procedures. Provide all the requested information; note that the results of the analysis are to be reported on a wet weight basis. The method used must be reported. Report on a wet weight basis, do not correct results for moisture content.
