Min-Trap® Brochure

This product brochure provides an overview of the Min-Trap® passive mineral sampler which collects direct mineralogical data without the need for drilling or coring. Min-Traps® are broadly applicable to remediation approaches that rely on the formation, dissolution, and/or transformation of solid-phase minerals to sequester or degrade contaminants.

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.

Top Tips – Evaluating Remediation Options – Chlorinated

This Top Tips bulletin explains how molecular biological tools support informed remedy selection at chlorinated solvent sites by comparing monitored natural attenuation (MNA), enhanced bioremediation, and combined biotic/abiotic treatments. It highlights how in situ microcosms, QuantArray®‑Chlor, and mineralogical analyses provide field‑based evidence of biological and abiotic degradation to guide cost‑effective remediation decisions.

Complementary Tests for Chlorinated Compounds White Paper

This white paper explains how combining molecular, mineralogical, and field‑based tools provides a more complete understanding of chlorinated compound degradation at contaminated sites. It shows how QuantArray®‑Chlor, abiotic testing, and in situ microcosms work together to improve remedy selection, support monitored natural attenuation, and increase confidence in site management decisions.

Tech Bulletin – MNA for Chlorinated Ethenes – Cometabolism and Abiotic Degradation

This technical bulletin explains how aerobic cometabolism and abiotic degradation can be critical mechanisms supporting monitored natural attenuation (MNA) at chlorinated ethene sites, particularly in large or dilute plumes. It describes how molecular biological tools, mineralogical analyses, and degradation rate studies provide defensible evidence of contaminant destruction beyond traditional groundwater trend analysis.

Tech Bulletin – ISCO ISCR

This technical bulletin explains how molecular biological tools and advanced samplers enhance the design, evaluation, and performance monitoring of in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) and in situ chemical reduction (ISCR). It demonstrates how integrating CENSUS® qPCR, QuantArray® suites, and Min‑Trap® samplers provides multiple lines of evidence to link abiotic treatment with bioremediation and long‑term site…
