  "text": "Incubation systems consist of static closed systems or suitable flow-through systems (7)(17). Examples of suitable flow-through soil incubation apparatus and biometer-type flask are shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively. Both types of incubation systems have advantages and limitations (7)(17).\nStandard laboratory equipment is required and especially the following:\nAnalytical instruments such as GLC, HPLC, TLC-equipment, including the appropriate detection systems for analysing radiolabelled or non-labelled substances or inverse isotopes dilution method;\nInstruments for identification purposes (e.g. MS, GC-MS, HPLC-MS, NMR, etc.);\nLiquid scintillation counter;\nOxidiser for combustion of radioactive material;\nCentrifuge;\nExtraction apparatus (for example, centrifuge tubes for cold extraction and Soxhlet apparatus for continuous extraction under reflux);\nInstrumentation for concentrating solutions and extracts (e.g. rotating evaporator);\nWater bath;\nMechanical mixing device (e.g. kneading machine, rotating mixer).\nChemical reagents used include, for example:\nNaOH, analytical grade, 2 mol dm--3, or other appropriate base (e.g. KOH, ethanolamine);\nH2SO4, analytical grade, 0.05 mol dm--3;\nEthylene glycol, analytical grade;\nSolid absorption materials such as soda lime and polyurethane plugs;\nOrganic solvents, analytical grade, such as acetone, methanol, etc.;\nScintillation liquid.",
