Deployment and Retrieval of Mineral Samplers

This article discusses considerations for designing Min-Trap® studies as well as the necessary procedures for incorporating these passive mineral samplers at a site. From capturing in situ reactive mineral formation for the evaluation of remediation strategies, to understanding PFAS contaminant distribution in the subsurface, the Min-Trap® approach has broad applicability, is repeatable, and avoids expensive…

Min-Trap® PFAS

This product brochure provides an overview of Min-Trap® PFAS, a passive mineral sampler that provides a field-based method to measure how per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) partition between groundwater and soil or engineered media. These results can be critical for understanding plume longevity, bioavailability, and treatment performance.
