The Soil-Cell system is developed for the extraction of semi-volatile organic compounds in soil samples. The Soil-Cell system meets the requirements of the Performance Based Measurement System established by the EPA and replaces microwave technology with a HotBlock and stainless steel Soil Extraction Cells. Analytical results of a CRM (Certified Reference Material) for PAH/BNA and TPH fell within the required acceptance limits and were very reproducible. Real world soil samples were also extracted using this procedure for PAH/BNA, TPH, and PCB compounds and compared to results achieved using SW846 Method 3545A. Results were comparable for all three groups of compounds.

This is one complete extration cell, and includes one stainless steel body, inner lid, O-ring, and cap.
