7002000 EnSys TNT Explosives Soil Test Kit by Modern Water

EnSys® explosives kits are rapid field or laboratory colourimetric tests for the analysis of explosives in soil. The kits are based on a method developed by Dr. Thomas Jenkins at the US Army Corps of Engineers - CRREL.

Features:

Detects TNT, DNT and related explosives
Convenient and rapid testing in the field or laboratory
Extractions can be performed simultaneously with analysis in singlicate
TNT extracts can be used with EnSys RDX test
Training available
EPA SW-846 Method #8515

Test result type

Quantitative data

Samples per kit

20 soil samples

Assay range

Soil: 1 ppm to 30 ppm total TNT
Higher sample concentrations can be quantified by sample extract dilution

Sample preparation

Soil samples require prior extraction using the included extraction components
Soil samples should be dried prior to analysis
Soil sample extracts may be saved for use with the RDXsoil test kit

Sampling time

'Dirt-to-Data' in approximately 30 minutes
Typically about ten samples can be run in about 40 minutes
Soil extraction time is typically 2 - 10 minutes per sample plus test run time of approximately 2 minutes

Specificity

The EnSys® TNT test is specific for TNT and related explosive compounds and exhibits the following sensitivities. The TNT test does not measure RDX or HMX.

Basic Test Procedure

Clean cuvettes and set spectrophotometer
Extract soil sample: Weigh 10 grams of soil sample, Add sample to extraction jar, Measure 50mL acetone into 50mL tube, Pour acetone into extraction jar and shake for three minutes, Allow to settle for five minutes
Draw 25mL liquid into the syringe from above the sediment layer in extraction jar
Attach filter tip to syringe and transfer 25mL of sample extract into a cuvette.
Place cuvette in spectrophotometer and record initial absorbance
Add one drop of developer solution, cap and shake for three seconds.
Remove stopper and place the'sample' cuvette in cell holder and read sample absorbance.
NOTE: For analysis of samples containing DNT,and/or where DNT concentration is of concern, samples must be allowed to develop for 10 minutes before reading sample absorbance. This will not affect colour development for other nitroaromatics.
Record data and calculate results.

Test kit components

20 weigh boats and wooden spatulas
20 extraction jars
One 50mL graduated tube
20 - 30cc syringes and syringe filters
1 bulb pipette
1 TNT control vial and ampoule cracker
Developer solution
