• 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

7310000 EnviroGard DDT Soil Kit by Modern Water

Envirogard® is a rapid field enzyme immunoassay method for the analysis of soil remediation, assessment and industrial testing. It uses a coated tube technology to detect the analyte of concern.

Features:

• Rapid and simple field testing procedures
• Semi-quantitative data results at set calibrator (action) levels
• Test up to 17 samples at once for increased cost efficiency
• Results available in less than 30 minutes
• Coated tube immunoassay
• EPA SW-846 Method #4042

Test result type

• Semi-quantitative or qualitative data

Samples per kit

• Up to 17 soil sample test results can be obtained per kit, depending upon the number of runs and action levels used.
• Typical applications use two or three calibrators and one negative control.

Assay range

• Semi-quantitative results (greater or less than) at calibrator (action) levels of 0.2, 1.0 and 10.0 ppm DDT
• Minimum detection level (MDL) is 0.2 ppm DDT.
• No maximum screening level as extracts can be diluted into test range

Sample preparation

• Soil samples require prior extraction using the MWI Sample Extraction Kit (sold separately).
• The Sample Extraction Kit provides material for 12 soil sample extractions with methanol.

Sampling time

• Soil extraction time is typically 2 minutes per sample plus assay run time of approximately 30 minutes.

Specificity

The EnviroGard DDT immunoassay test does not differentiate between DDT and other organochlorines. The table below shows compounds at the minimum detection limit (MDL) -an approximate concentration required to yield a positive result atthe lowest standard. The IC50 is the concentration required to inhibit one half of the color produced by the negative control. It is also used to calculate cross-reactivity values to similar compounds.

Basic Test Procedure

• Extract the soil sample using the MWI Sample Extraction Kit
• Pipet DDT assay diluent into the antibody coated tubes, then add either DDT calibrator or sample extract to the tubes along with DDT enzyme conjugate.
• Wait 15 minutes, then decant and wash the tubes.
• Add substrate.
• Wait for 10 minutes, add stop solution
• Read the absorbance using a photometer, and interpret the results. (Refer to DDT Soil Test Kit Instruction Guide procedures.)

Test kit components

• 20 antibody coated tubes
• Enzyme conjugate, colour developing and colour stop solution reagents
• Calibrators for 0.2, 1.0 and 10.0 ppm DDT.
• Negative control calibrator
