The En Core® excels in sampling tight soils. A cutting edge is designed at the front of the body. Push and rotate the sample into the clay to take a core sample.
En Core® system for sampling VOCs in soils
En Core® system for sampling VOCs in soils
The En Core® system allows soil samples to be collected for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while limiting losses caused by evaporation. It ensures rapid, airtight, and representative sampling directly in the field.
It is a reliable alternative to sampling methods that use chemical preservatives.

Ask for informationThe En Core® system is a device specifically designed for collecting soil samples intended for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Thanks to its airtight sampler, it significantly reduces VOC losses caused by evaporation or handling. The sample is taken directly from a soil core and immediately sealed, ensuring better representativeness.
Its use is fast, simple, and compliant with environmental sampling protocols. It also eliminates the need for chemical preservatives during sampling.
The system also facilitates the transport and preservation of samples prior to laboratory analysis. It is widely used in soil contamination studies and environmental site assessments.
- Airtight soil sampling device.
- Designed for the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
- Standardized sample volume (5 g or 25 g).
- Quick sealing to limit VOC evaporation.
- Compatible with environmental sampling protocols and laboratory analysis.
- Compact, lightweight system that is easy to use in the field.
- Soil contamination studies.
- Assessment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
- Subsurface vapor monitoring.
- Geotechnical and geological investigations.

- Pre-construction or environmental remediation studies.
- Hold the sampler body and push the plunger rod downward.
- Press the locking lever on the T-handle and place the sampler body into the open end of the T-handle.
- Using the T-handle, push the sampler into the soil until the sampler body is completely filled.
- Remove the sample from the soil and clean excess soil from the outside of the sampler body.
- Cap the sampler and remove it from the T-handle by pressing the locking lever.
- Lock the sampler by turning the extended plunger rod counterclockwise.
- Label the sample and return it to the zip-lock bag. Place on ice.

Does the En Core® sampler work in compact clay?
-
Does the En Core® sampler work in sand?
The En Core® cannot be used to sample sand in the normal way as dry sand will not form a cohesive plug. Pull the plunger back to form an O-ring seal at the back end of the body and scoop or push sand into the sampler. When the cap is placed, the sand will remain in a headspace-free state.
-
Does the En Core® Sampler work on rocks?
The En Core® sampler is not suitable for rocks. Rocks are a challenging matrix to sample regardless of the approach used. We recommend having some methanol available if you need to take samples from rocks. You may need to break the rocks to obtain a sample that is sufficiently small.
-
Does the En Core® sampler work with downhole sampling methods?
Currently, the En Core® does not work with bottom well sampling. You must bring the soil core or split spoon to the surface and quickly take a sample.
-
How do I know if the En Core® Sampler is full?
There is a viewing hole in the handle. The o-ring on the piston will show in the viewing hole when the soil has pushed the piston completely back. However, there is another check you must perform on each sample. The piston can only be turned when it is pushed completely to the back of the body. If you can turn the piston, you have ensured that the soil has filled the sample and that the back o-rings have sealed.
-
How do I know if the cap is properly fitted?
When placing the lid, it's important to rotate it while pushing. The lid is properly sealed when the two locking arms are completely and symmetrically over the ridge of the body. This means the lid is sealed.
-
What is the status with the waiting times?
Currently, the waiting time is 48 hours. This means that the soil must be placed in a preservative before the end of the 48-hour period. Some regulatory agencies have approved extended waiting times. Check with your regulatory agency.
- Fast and simple sampling directly in the field.
- Reduced VOC losses thanks to an airtight system.
- More representative and reliable samples.
- Eliminates the need for chemical preservatives.
- Facilitates sample transport and preservation prior to laboratory analysis.
