A safe, efficient means of pulverizing soil and particulate matter into a fine, talc-like powder in preparation for analyses, such as total carbon, nitrogen or sulfur. Typically, air-dry soil or crushed organic materials are reduced to less than 100-mesh overnight.
Scintillation vials are commonly used for the processing in that they provide a sufficient sample size for most analyses, up to 95 vials per run. The vial rotator can also accommodate French square bottles as well as larger sample containers by removing rollers to change spacing. One hex tumbling bar is used per sample to assist pulverization. The carbon steel hex tumbling bar can be removed after pulverization by means of a magnet.
100 scintillation vials and 50 carbon steel hex tumblers are included. Stainless steel hex tumbling bars are also available.
