GUIDELINES FOR PACKAGING
Cans should only be filled to 2/3 of
their volume to allow for the insertion
of an extraction test strip at the laboratory.
Care should be taken to avoid getting
debris in the top sealing groove of the
can as this will prevent an adequate
seal when the lid is attached, and may
allow the sample to leak out and be
lost.
After the can lid is applied it should
be gently hammered shut around
the entire circumference without deforming
the top of the can to ensure
a tight vapor seal.
UNLINED
LINED
Sample identification descriptions
should be written of both the top lid
and side of the can as each item is collected.
A short piece of evidence tape should
be attached over opposite sides of the
lid to can top joint, initialed and dated,
trying not to cover the sample information
written on the lid.
Dirt and soil samples should be delivered
to the laboratory the same day
as collected. If this is not possible,
the sealed can(s) may be temporarily
stored in a freezer to prevent
possible degradation of the ignitable
liquid by microbes found in some soils.
