<p>A method for obtaining a soil sample (11) for laboratory analysis of VOC content includes providing a cartridge (113) having an open mouth portion (17) and a proximal end (115). The cartridge (113) is urged into soil to extract a sample (11) while retaining the proximal end (115) sealed. The mouth portion (17) is closed, the totally-sealed cartridge (113) is transported to a laboratory and the sample (11) is ejected from the cartridge (113) directly into a laboratory vial (53). A cartridge (113) used in the method has a barrel (13) and an attachment portion (117) coupled to the barrel (13). Such portion (117) permits attaching a removable handle (23a) used to urge the cartridge (113) into the soil surface.</p> |
