In-situ Separator.
Abstract
The device was developed to study the primary productivity of small organisms. The sampler is messenger actuated in two discrete steps. The first step actuates the sampler, filling its chamber with water and injecting the tracer solution. The sample is then allowed to incubate. The second messenger actuation causes a discharge of compressed gas to enter the chamber via a manifold arrangement, forcing the contained water out through a millipore filter. Both entry and exit of water are controlled by a dual-valve arrangement. The sampler is recovered empty of its contents with the millipore filter ready for laboratory analysis.
