Aqua Monitor™ Smart, Versatile Water Sampler

Aqua Monitor is a novel water sampler for use in a wide variety of deployment scenarios. Aqua Monitor is equally capable of integration within a traditional mooring arrangement, a towed-vehicle system or ROV/AUV platforms.

This unique device enables the collection of up to fifty discrete water samples for post recovery laboratory analysis. The instrument may be programmed for autonomous time series sampling or for operation in "slave" mode within an integrated system. Applications are as diverse as the range of possible deployment platforms and include sampling for nutrients, phytoplankton, salinity, suspended-load, tracers and contaminants.
