Total Soil Digestion

Sample: soil core(s). A strong-acid digestion that measures the total mineral, metal and toxin reserves in the soil — including accumulated, non-available load. HCT interprets that load against pore-space loss and remediation demand; bulk density, pore space and compaction are physical properties that are not measured by the digestion itself. Required for any remediation prescription.

How it works: HCT emails sampling instructions within 1–2 business days of your order. Collect and ship your samples to the laboratory named in the instructions. Results are entered into your Legacy Analytical ledger, categorized by severity, typically 5–10 business days after the lab receives the samples. Interpretations & Recommendations (I&R) is a separate line item; without it you receive the categorized data only.
