DESCRIPTION

You may be familiar with permanent magnets—the kind that hang on a refrigerator. But did you know that other magnets, called electromagnets, can be turned on and off? When turned on, electromagnets act just like permanent magnets, but if you turn them off, their magnetic properties disappear. Doorbells often contain electromagnets!

With this physics science kit, you will make an electromagnet and investigate how the strength of its magnetic field changes with its design. The kit contains enough magnet wire and iron bolts to build 4 different electromagnets. How many paper clips can each magnet hold?

Instructions for this kit are available online. See below for links to the instructions and more.

Specific sampling instructions are provided below:

CAUTION: Some sample bottles contain chemical preservatives. These substances may cause injury if spilled in the eyes or on the skin or ingested. In case of a spill, rinse the affected area with large amounts of water and see a doctor immediately. Use of gloves is strongly recommended.

Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOC) in Water

• Vials: 40 mL amber glass VOA
• Fill the vial under a slow stream of water until it overflows.  The water should be domed at the top.  
• Gently replace the cap and tighten securely. There must be no air bubbles in the vial.  
• Samples may be rejected if air bubbles are entrapped in the vial.
• Return the sealed Trip Blank vial with your samples.  Do NOT open it.

Synthetic Organic Chemicals (SOC) in Water

• Vials: 40 mL clear or amber glass
• Bottles: 250 mL, 500 mL, or 1L amber glass
• Fill the bottle to the neck.  Cap tightly.

Inorganic Chemicals (IOC) in Water (including Lead / Copper and Nitrate)

• Bottles: 125 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL or 1L HDPE plastic
• Collect the sample from a kitchen or bathroom cold water faucet.  Remove all screens, strainers or aerators before taking the sample.  Using the cold water tap only, fill the sample bottle completely to the neck.  Cap tightly.
• Lead/Copper:  Allow the water to stand undisturbed in the pipes for at least 6 hours before collecting the sample.  Click here for more guidance on  lead/copper sampling . You will also need to fill out a Chain of Custody to accompany your samples. Select the correct Lead/Copper (Pb/Cu) form for your state on our Chains of Custody  page.
• Nitrate:  Samples must be submitted to the lab within 36 hours of collection.
• Low Level Mercury:  Requires specific sampling procedures.  See the links on the right side of the L ow Level Mercury page

A specially preserved 125 mL sterilized plastic sample bottle is required for this test. Use only a bottle provided by Anatek Labs, Inc. or a health department.

Click here to view video sampling instructions

Read the sampling instructions below before beginning to collect samples.

• Wash your hands thoroughly with hot, soapy water before opening the bottle.
• Select a clean faucet. Avoid collecting from a swivel or hinged faucet, since bacteria regrowth can occur in the cracks.
• Remove all screens, strainers or aerators, and allow the water to run for 5 minutes before taking the sample.
• Do NOT rinse the bottle!  It contains a preservative that may look like a powder or pellet.
• Remove and discard the plastic seal from the cap (do NOT leave the seal on the cap). Do not remove the cap from the bottle until just before taking the sample. Do not let the inside surface of the cap or the lip of the bottle touch anything, especially your fingers.
• Fill the bottle between the 100mL and the 120mL lines.  Be sure to leave some headspace between the water level and the cap.
• Use a permanent marker to clearly label the bottle with the collection date, time and location.
• Coliform samples must reach the lab within 30 hours of collection. Samples older than 30 hours cannot be tested.
• Keep samples refrigerated or cold (if possible) until you submit them to the lab. Do not let samples freeze.

Soil, Sludge and High-Level Wastes

• Containers:  Soil and sludge samples are typically collected in 4-oz. glass jars with Teflon-lined caps.   Some solid samples may require specialized containers.
• Fill the jars completely to eliminate head space.  Cap tightly.  
• Immediately place sample containers in a refrigerator or cooler with ice until delivered to the lab.

Samples will be rejected if collected in the incorrect container and will require re-sampling. If you have any questions, please contact us before sampling ( 208-883-2839 [Moscow] or 509-838-3999 [Spokane] ).
• Refrigerate samples or place samples on ice immediately after sampling prior to shipping to lab.  Samples must be submitted to the lab as soon as possible, preferably within 48 hours of sampling.  EPA 533 & 537 protocols have strict preservation and temperature requirements thus samples must arrive at the laboratory cold (<10 o C) and in the correct containers or samples will be rejected.
• Before submitting your samples to the lab, complete a chain of custody form for each entry point (EP) .
• Contact us with any questions before sampling.   Samples will be rejected if improperly submitted.

EPA 533 & 537 require field reagent blanks to be prepared while collecting samples at each sampling site.

EPA 533 & 537:  Perfluorinated Alkyl Acids in Drinking Water 

Bottles :  250 mL polypropylene plastic (two bottles for each entry point)

• Fill the bottle under a slow stream of water until the bottle is filled up to the neck. Gently replace the cap, tighten securely, and invert the sample a few times to dissolve the preservative.

Field Reagent Blanks  (required for each entry point):

• You will have one sealed 250 mL plastic bottle that contains preserved, reagent water (labeled Field Blank A ) and one plastic bottle that is empty (labeled  Field Blank B ).  At the sampling site, open the bottle containing reagent water and pour it into the empty bottle, replace the cap securely and ship it with the samples.

Methamphetamine Wipe Samples

• These are general sampling instructions - state requirements may differ.   Specific state regulations may require specific wipes, methanol, glass sampling containers, etc.
• Clearly label each sample container.  Use a permanent marker (Sharpie or similar) to indicate the sampling location and the date and time collected.
• Wear gloves when collecting samples. Wearing gloves will help prevent any contamination during sampling, and is safer for the sampler.
• 2" x 2" gauze pads are readily available at any drug store.  Whatman 40 filter paper may also be used.  
• Wipes can be wetted with deionized water, isopropyl alcohol, or methanol.
• Be aware of your regulatory requirements for wipe area, and record the area on the Chain of Custody.  Most states require samples to be 100 cm2 (10 cm x 10 cm, approximately 4" x 4").
• Fold the filter paper in quarters
• Using firm pressure, horizontally wipe the surface in an overlapping 'Z' pattern.
• Open the wipe, fold the sampled surface in, and expose a clean quarter.
• Using firm pressure, vertically wipe the surface area in an overlapping 'N' pattern.
• Fold the second sampled quarter in.
• Insert the folded filter paper into the sampling container and secure the lid
• Fill out the Chain of Custody, including date and time.
• Samples should be placed into clean glass containers, centrifuge tubes, or zip-lock bags.   Check your state regulations for required procedures.
• After collection, samples should be placed on ice and/or refrigerated, and shipped on ice.  Make sure to enclose the completed Chain of Custody with the samples.

• Use the proper container to collect your sample and do not rinse out any preservatives present.  Specific sample containers are required for all UCMR5 analyses. Samples will be rejected if collected in the incorrect container and will require re-sampling. If you have any questions, please contact us before sampling ( 1-208-883-2839 ).
• Refrigerate samples or place samples on ice immediately after sampling prior to shipping to lab.  Samples must be submitted to the lab within 48 hours of sampling.  UCMR5 protocols have strict preservation and temperature requirements thus samples must arrive at the laboratory cold (<10 o C) and in the correct containers or samples will be rejected.
• Before submitting your samples to the lab, complete a chain of custody form for each entry point (EP) .  The additional ‘two bottles per water system’ noted on some tests are collected to allow the laboratory to run matrix spike samples required by UCMR5.

Bottles :   250 mL HDPE plastic (one bottle for each Entry Point) Fill the bottle under a slow stream of water until the bottle is filled up to the neck.

EPA 533 & 537.1 require field reagent blanks to be prepared while collecting samples at each sampling site.

• You will have one sealed 250 mL plastic bottle that contains preserved, reagent water (labeled Field Reagent Blank A ) and one plastic bottle that is empty (labeled  Field Reagent Blank B ).  At the sampling site, open the bottle containing reagent water and pour it into the empty bottle, replace the cap securely and ship it with the samples.
