TCLP Extraction Fluid #2
Manufacturer: LabChem Inc.
TCLP Extraction Fluid #2 from LabChem Inc. is a critical reagent for laboratories conducting the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) under EPA Method 1311. This fluid is specifically utilized for samples that exhibit higher alkalinity during the preliminary method evaluation, ensuring that the leaching environment accurately reflects the conditions required for regulatory waste characterization. By utilizing this pre-formulated analytical reagent, laboratories ensure a consistent pH of 2.88 ± 0.05 (as specified by EPA protocols), eliminating the technical burden of manual titration and pH adjustment. LabChem’s commitment to controlled purity guarantees that your results are both reproducible and defensible for environmental compliance.

Key Functional Benefits:
- Regulatory Accuracy: Precisely formulated to meet the specific chemical requirements of EPA 1311, ensuring your extraction process is audit-ready
- Controlled Composition: Rigorous manufacturing standards provide a stable, consistent fluid that minimizes background interference during metal or organic analysis
- Ready-to-Use Efficiency: Saves significant time in sample preparation, especially for labs running the standard 18-hour extraction on multiple waste streams
- Packaging Versatility: Available up to 20 L to accommodate large-scale environmental testing facilities
Environmental Testing Insights:
- Fluid Selection Criteria: According to EPA Method 1311, Fluid #2 is only used for samples where the preliminary pH is > 5.0 and the sample fails to be neutralized by the specified amount of HCl during the method's alkalinity test
- Handling Safety: While Fluid #2 is a dilute acetic acid solution, it remains a chemical hazard. Always wear splash goggles and chemical-resistant gloves. Ensure proper ventilation to avoid inhaling vapors
- Storage Maintenance: Store away from strong bases and oxidizers. To maintain the exact $pH$ balance, keep the container tightly sealed to prevent the absorption of atmospheric CO2.
