Function Description

The GO-FLO Water Sampler is designed specifically for marine research, providing a high-quality water sampling solution, especially in situations where surface contamination must be avoided.

Key Features

  • Prevents Surface Contamination: During deployment, the GO-FLO water sampler’s top and bottom caps remain closed to prevent surface oil contamination or other pollutants from entering the sampler. When the sampler reaches a depth of approximately 5 meters, the pressure valve on the bottle is activated by water pressure, causing the caps to automatically open and begin collecting water from the target layer.

  • Material and Design: The bottle body is made of non-metallic materials, with no springs inside, reducing potential sources of metal contamination. Some metal parts can be replaced with Teflon coating, which is ideal for sampling with high purity requirements, such as heavy metal analysis.

  • Capacity Options: Available in various capacity options, including 5 liters, 10 liters, and 20 liters, allowing researchers to select the appropriate size based on their sampling needs.

  • Trigger Mechanism: The closing of the bottle caps is controlled remotely by the Deck Unit, ensuring accurate sampling at the desired depth.

Applications

  • Marine Environmental Monitoring: Ideal for collecting seawater samples from different depths to analyze parameters like temperature, salinity, and nutrients.

  • Trace Metal Research: Its high purity design makes it particularly suitable for sampling water for trace metal element analysis.

  • Biogeochemical Research: Used in the study of the distribution and cycling of nutrients, dissolved oxygen, and other chemical components in marine environments.
