# Commission Directive 2004/73/EC of 29 April 2004 adapting to technical progress for the twenty-ninth time Council Directive 67/548/EEC on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances (Text with EEA relevance), Division 1.8.1: Equipment and chemical reagents

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

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).
Standard laboratory equipment is required and especially the following:
Analytical instruments such as GLC, HPLC, TLC-equipment, including the appropriate detection systems for analysing radiolabelled or non-labelled substances or inverse isotopes dilution method;
Instruments for identification purposes (e.g. MS, GC-MS, HPLC-MS, NMR, etc.);
Liquid scintillation counter;
Oxidiser for combustion of radioactive material;
Centrifuge;
Extraction apparatus (for example, centrifuge tubes for cold extraction and Soxhlet apparatus for continuous extraction under reflux);
Instrumentation for concentrating solutions and extracts (e.g. rotating evaporator);
Water bath;
Mechanical mixing device (e.g. kneading machine, rotating mixer).
Chemical reagents used include, for example:
NaOH, analytical grade, 2 mol dm--3, or other appropriate base (e.g. KOH, ethanolamine);
H2SO4, analytical grade, 0.05 mol dm--3;
Ethylene glycol, analytical grade;
Solid absorption materials such as soda lime and polyurethane plugs;
Organic solvents, analytical grade, such as acetone, methanol, etc.;
Scintillation liquid.
