Design, Construction, and Application of an Inexpensive, High-Resolution Water Sampler

Abstract: Abstract:The cost of high-resolution water sampling devices for ecological studies and water quality analyses can be prohibitive. Moreover, the potential for operator error in the use of complicated sampling equipment can lead to inaccuracies. Here we describe the construction and operation of an inexpensive and easy-to-use water sampler that achieves a water column sampling resolution of approximately 1 cm. The device is driven by a peristaltic pump and is constructed entirely of non-corrosive and non-reactiv… Show more

“…In the future, we plan to upgrade the system with an anthropomorphic robot that can move cocktails around the bar and engage in dialogue with visitors. Further research will be also dedicated to the creation of different pump configurations and the search for alternative applications, e.g., water samplers [15], multi-commuted flow systems [16], or watercolor robotic painters [17]. The prototype presentation attracted significant interest of visitors and potential investors to the project.…”

“…Water samples were collected from Lake Fryxell, Antarctica (77°36.630′S, 163°08.853′E) using a peristaltic pump-driven limnological sampling device, as previously described (Sattley and Madigan, 2010; Sattley et al, 2017). Sampled portions of the water column included both the chemocline (10 m) and the anoxic benthos (17 m) of the lake.…”
