The integrated sample is automatically achieved in one single draft.There is no need for repeated operations of standard water samplers, followed by mixing procedures. The sampling technique is very simple. An electric motor actuates a piston inside a transparent tube. A microprocessor controls the sampling procedure according to the pre-selected depth, time or spot scenario. A built-in high precision pressure sensor cares for accurate depth measurements. Power supply of the sampler is made by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, using the safest chemistry currently available.FEATURESDepth integrated sampling with programmable depth intervalTime integrated samplingSpot sampling – take a complete sample at a single depthExternal battery pack with rechargeable Li-Ion batteriesQuick-start key – repeat the last sampling scenario without re-programmingExtended operation protocol – fully integrated in OceanLab3 softwareBluetooth connection to the hand unit and PCLong-distance telemetry via electromechanical cablesSAMPLING IS MADE EASY WITH THE IWS IIISelect a sampling mode via hand unit or PC without connecting any cable.Enter the requested depth or time interval.Put the sampler into the water and lower it to desired depth – the sample will be precisely aspirated according to the selected scenario.Recover the sampler after the end of the selected depth, time or spot scenario.Extract the sample by opening the hose clamp located at the bottom of the sampler.Repeat the scenario by simply pressing the quick-start key.TECHNICAL DATAMaterialPOM, Acrylic, titanium, stainless steelDiameter190 mmLength2.5 l model: 720 mm5 l model: 880 mmWeight2.5 l model: 7.5 kg5 l model: 8 kgBattery TypeLithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4)Battery Capacitysufficient for up to 20 operationsOperational Depthmax. 100 mORDERING INFORMATIONProducts436 601IWS III, capacity 2.5 litres436 606IWS III, capacity 5 litres Alat Laboratorium Umum

Hydro-Bios Free Flow Water SamplerFree-flushing oceanographic water samplerDescriptionThe Free Flow Water Sampler is an innovative design which avoids the limitations of the PWS/Niskin bottles caused by their reduced inlet and outlet diameters. The outstanding feature of the Free Flow Water Sampler is the really free-flushing construction of the sampler where no cone or ball-valve influences the water exchange inside the sampling tube.The Free Flow Water Sampler features all plastic (PVC and POM) design, consisting of a tube with two lids connected by a latex rubber tubing/stainless steel spring (10l version). The lids are kept open during descent, caring for a perfect flushing of the sampling tube. Like the PWS, the Free Flow Water Sampler on the one hand can be used on Multi Water Sampler/ Rosette/Carousel arrays and on the other hand it can be used as single or series instrument connected to a hydrographic wire.When used directly connected to a hydrographic wire, a messenger, dropped down the wire from the surface, releases the end stoppers for closure. For the use of several Free Flow Water Samplers in a row a second messenger below the first sampler is used to actuate a series of samplers along the wire.When operated as a single instrument without bottom weight, we recommend to use a Centered Mounting Rack (436 380 … 436 390) which cares for a vertical position of the sampler. Retrieve the water sample via the discharge cock/tube at the lower end of the sampler. TECHNICAL DATAMaterialPlastic parts: PVC, POMRubber cord: Natural latexSealings: NBRDimensions1 l model: 90 x 140 x 515 mm5 l model: 140 x 210 x 700 mm10 l model: 140 x 210 x 1150 mmWeight1 l model: 3 kg5 l model: 6 kg10 l model: 8.5 kgORDERING INFORMATIONProducts436 340Free Flow Water Sampler, capacity 1 litre,- without messenger -436 344Free Flow Water Sampler, capacity 5.0 litres,- without messenger -436 346Free Flow Water Sampler, capacity 10.0 litres,- without messenger -Accessories436 380Centered Mounting Rack for PWS andFree Flow Water Sampler 1-2.5 l436 385Centered Mounting Rack for PWS andFree Flow Water Sampler 5 l436 390Centered Mounting Rack for PWS andFree Flow Water Sampler 10 l440 000Messenger for ropes up to 6mm.

Hydro-Bios (436 160) MICROS Water SamplerDescriptionThe MICROS Water Sampler meets essential demands of limnologists:Avoiding sample contamination by surface waterAvoiding analytical errors due to mishandling of the sample during transport and decantingSpecial feature: It is possible to sterilise(autoclave) the instrumentThe MICROS Water Sampler is an approved and uncomplicated instrument to take water samples up to 100 m depth. The slim shape allows the sampling from tubes as small as 80 mm diameter. It consists of a stainless steel frame equipped with a Teflon headpiece to hold an exchangeable 500 ml glass bottle as sampling vessel. The MICROS Water Sampler is attached to a wire and lowered into the water in closed condition in order to prevent sample contamination by surface water.An ingeniously simple technique is used to keep the sampler closed during descent, consisting of two silicone hoses fixed in a bent position. The sampler is activated by a messenger upon reaching the desired water depth. When the messenger hits the anvil, the silicone hoses spring up from their bent position allowing water to ingress and air to drain the bottle. For transport and investigation of the samples, the glass bottles are simply unscrewed from the holder and closed with a lid. This avoids falsification of the sample by pouring it from one vessel to another.TECHNICAL DATAMaterialHolder device: Stainless steelHeadpiece: PTFEHoses: SiliconeSampling bottles: GlassOperational depthMax. 100 mORDERING INFORMATIONProducts436 160MICROS Water Sampler with oneglass bottle 500 ml andPlastic Covered MessengerSpare Parts436 165Glass Bottles 500 ml for use upto 100 m water depth (package of 3 pcs.)440 002Plastic Covered Messenger for ropes up to 6mm.

Hydro-Bios Automatic Fluid Injection Sampler AFISNovel In Situ Water Sampling And Fluid Injection SystemABOUTMicroorganisms are the driving catalysts of virtually all biogeochemical cycles on this planet. Therefore, knowledge regarding microbial abundances, diversities and activities in the environment is of fundamental interest not only to microbiologists, but also for understanding globally important element cycles. One culture-independent approach to deduce those prokaryotic metabolic functions is to analyse metatranscriptomes.The Automatic Fluid Injection Sampler AFIS provides a novel technique to enhance sampling technology for studying microbially driven biogeochemical processes in the environment by the analysis of metatranscriptomes (messenger RNA).Transcripts degrade fast – within seconds to minutes. It is known that their abundance patterns detected in nature are subject to considerable modification not only due to environmental changes but simply as a result of sampling procedures. Traditional sampling from a ship using conventional water sampling bottles usually takes many minutes to some hours, providing plenty of time for modification.To overcome this problem, AFIS takes samples and rapidly fixes water directly in the original environment and thereby instantaneously conserves the gene expression profile in situ. This allows a reliable evaluation of microbially driven processes based on metatranscriptomics.Additional applications are expected in the field of conventional water sampling where immediate fixation of biological matters or chemical substances inside the sample is needed.The single-bottle version AFISsingle has been designed to be operated inside common rosette water sampling systems or as stand-alone instrument when mounted to hydrographic wires or other subaqueous structures like landers, ROVS etc.The AFIS results from a cooperation with Leibniz-Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemuende IOW.FEATURESHigh-pressure injection for fast fixation of the sample within secondsOptimised injection system for even distribution of injection fluidUser-selectable injection fluidPressure-less handling of injection fluidProgrammable volume of injection fluidProgrammable schedule for sampling procedureFor use inside common rosette water sampling systemsSPECIFICATIONTechnical Data Dimensions20 x 20 x 65 cmEmpty weight20 kgMax. operational water depthstandard 3000 m,optional 6000 mMaterialtechnical ceramics,PVDF, PTFE, POM,titanium, stainless steel AISI 316,FKM, FFKMPower supplylithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4),2500 mAhProtocol memoryup to 100 operation protocols withcomplete nominal and actual sampling scenarioSampling scenariomechanically activated (by rosette),depth-, time- or motion-dependent (programmable)Sampler volume2000 mlVolume of injection fluidup to 250 ml (programmable)Injection pressure700 ... 500 kPa (100 ... 70 psi)Ordering Information436 430AFISsingleAutomatic Fluid Injection SamplerSingle-bottle version with 2 l capacityintegrated pressure sensor,power supply: rechargeable lithium ironphosphate batteries (LiFePO4), 2500 mAhWindows based OceanLab3 software included436 430-001Injection fluid bags for AFISsingle,material: 5-layer thermoplastic polyolefin(free from PVC) Set of 10 pcs.                               Alat Laboratorium Umum

Industrial Water SamplerLimnological water sampler with metal-free interiorABOUTThe Industrial Water Sampler is a specialised version of the Standard Water Sampler acc. to Ruttner. It has been developed to meet the demands for more accurate chemical analysis of water samples. The inside of the sampling tube is completely metal-free and thus tests for the determination of trace elements are possible. The Industrial Water Sampler (whilst open) is lowered by rope into the water. Upon reaching the desired depth, the messenger activated closing mechanism is released and closes the lids of the sampling tube. To retrieve the water sample for analyses only the discharge hose at the lower lid has to be opened.

Automatic Water Sampler MULTI-LIMNOS (436 985)Limnological Multiple Water Sampler based on the LIMNOS-principleJust like the LIMNOS, the MULTI-LIMNOS Water Sampler meets two essential demands of limnologists:Avoiding sample contamination from surface waterAvoiding errors in analysis due to mishandling of the sample during transport and decanting DescriptionThe MULTI-LIMNOS with its programmable time release mechanism has been designed to automatically collect up to 10 water samples in water depths down to 30 metres. The system is equipped with 10 Duran glass bottles of 1 litre capacity each, which can also be used as transportation and storage vessels. The bottles are screwed into modified LIMNOS headpieces and attached to the base plate. When the system is lowered to the desired water depth all bottles are closed. They are opened successively according to the preselected time intervals. When the bottles are filled with water, they are automatically closed by integrated check valves. The MULTI-LIMNOS is equipped with a microprocessor-controlled Motor Unit, activating the bottles in pre-programmed time intervals in real-time (date and time). The operation schedule is programmed via PC by using OceanLab 3 software.Power supply is made by 3 long-time lithium batteries placed inside an external battery housing. The bottom anchoring system offers the possibility to choose the water depth and, if required, change the depth with each operation. The MULTI-LIMNOS comes with a ball that floats on the water surface for keeping track of its positioning.The state-of-the-art electronics, optimised in power consumption, are designed for ambient temperatures from -40°C up to +85°C. Optionally a protective stainless steel array for conventional suspension e.g. for operating the instrument from a boat or ship is available.OPTIONSProtective stainless steel array for conventional suspensionSpecial version made of high-tech plastics (PVDF/PTFE) e.g. for metal tracer analysisis available upon request.AccessoriesSpare Duran glass bottles1000 ml for use up to 30 m water depth(package of 10 pcs.)TECHNICAL DATADimensions60 cm x 83 cmWeighton air: approx. 27 kg (bottles empty)in water: approx. 7 kg buoyancy (bottles filled)Operational depthmax. 30 metresMaterialMotor Unit and Battery Housing: TitaniumBase plate: PVCHeadpieces: PTFERelease mechanism: PVC, TitaniumBottom anchoring system: Stainless steelSampling bottles: DURAN-glassORDERING INFORMATIONProducts436 985Automatic Water SamplerMULTI-LIMNOSwith 10 Duran glass bottles1 litre, incl. 6 floats and bottomanchoring system(without bottom weight)Spare Parts436 145Spare Duran glass bottles 1 Iitre (10 pcs.)Alat Laboratorium Umum
