Samplers
McLANE
Environmental Sample Processor
Environmental Sample Processor (ESP) provides in situ collection and analysis of water samples from the subsurface ocean. The instrument is an electromechanical/fluidic system designed to collect discrete water samples, concentrate microorganisms or particles, and automate application of molecular probes which identify microorganisms.

Imaging FlowCytobot
The Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB) is an in-situ automated submersible imaging flow cytometer that generates images of particles in-flow taken from the aquatic environment. The IFCB uses a combination of flow cytometric and video technology to capture high resolution images of suspended particles. Laser- induced fluorescence and light scattering from individual particles are measured and used to trigger targeted image acquisition; the optical and image data are then transmitted to shore in real time.Collected images during continuous monitoring can be processed externally with automated image classification software. Images can be classified to the genus or even species level with demonstrated accuracy comparable to that of human experts.

Particle and Phytoplankton Sampler
The Phytoplankton Sampler (PPS) is an autonomous particulate sampler that filters up to 24 individual water samples through 47mm filters. Samples are collected in user-defined time series to analyze trace metals, phytoplankton and suspended particles. The patented multi-port valve isolates individual samples and distributes water directly to the filter before passing through a pump.

Remote Access Sampler – 500 mL
The Remote Access Sampler (RAS-500) is a deep ocean or coastal time-series water sampler that autonomously collects pure, unbiased specimens using a user-defined sample schedule. The RAS- 500 collects ambient water and suspended material in individual Tedlar® bags for biological, dissolved major and minor nutrient, dissolved trace metal, or dissolved organic carbon analysis. Also available in 100 ml version.

Sediment Traps
Sediment Traps collect vertically settling particles into individual sample bottles which are sealed when not in collection mode. Exceptional performance for biogeochemical studies including radionucleide, paleoproxy, carbon cycle analysis. Beneficial for environmental and pollution monitoring. Available in three different types.

WTS-LV (Large Volume Pump)
The Large Volume Water Transfer System (WTS-LV) is a large volume single-event sampler that collects suspended and dissolved particulate samples in situ into a 142mm membrane filter. The WTS-LV allows for a choice of pump size and filter porosity for a range of specimen collection. Collection targets include chlorophyll maximum, particulate trace metals, and phytoplankton. The WTS-LV dynamic pump speed algorithm adjusts as material accumulates on the filter minimizing risk of a damaged sample and improving battery endurance. The modular filter holder is designed to evenly distribute collected material. A three-tiered filter holder option is also available. The WTS-LV is available in four different configurations: Standard, Upright, Bore Hole, and Dual Filter Sampler.
