Particle and Phytoplankton Sampler
Autonomous time-series sampler that filters up to 24 water samples through 47mm filters for trace metals, phytoplankton and particles.
Description
The Particle and Phytoplankton Sampler (PPS) is an autonomous particulate sampler that filters up to 24 individual water samples through 47mm filters in a user-defined time series. A patented multi-port valve isolates individual samples and distributes water directly to the filter before it passes through the pump. A PPS software distribution (firmware, user manual and communication software) is available, and McLane offers a one-day hands-on PPS operation course at its facility.
