Sterilized so they won’t contaminate your samples or lines, these liquid samplers are often used in food processing, pharmaceutical, and biotech applications. Unlike traditional sampling methods such as ladles and cups, they don’t expose samples to the surrounding environment. These samplers use gravity to draw out liquid through the needle directly into the bottle or bag. The needle has a luer lock connection, so it’s easy to remove the needle after you take the sample. You can also swap the needle out beforehand if your application needs a different kind.

Manufactured free of contaminants and allergens, all are BPA- and latex-free. They’re also TSE/BSE compliant, so they’ve never come into contact with any animal products.

Bottles have a leakproof lid, so they’re good for shipping and storing small samples. After you collect the sample and remove the needle, their membrane automatically seals. They come with a tamper seal label to put over the lid, showing if the bottle is ever opened. They're also phthalate-free.

Bags are best for taking large samples. All are ISO 10993 compliant, so they’re approved for use in medical devices. They meet USP Class VI, meaning they’re made of plastic that’s been tested to the highest standards to reduce the risk of leaching into biological samples.

All of these liquid samplers are typically used with sampling tube fittings.

Choose a telescoping handle and a snap-on bottle or beaker to collect samples from large tanks and vats.

Polypropylene containers adjust up to 90° so they stay horizontal while sampling.

Collect and measure buildup from the bottom of oil tanks, septic tanks, wastewater lagoons, and other areas. Unlike other samplers that only hold liquids, these samplers can draw in solids, too. They help you monitor sludge, which is important for maintaining healthy heating systems and meeting environmental regulations for sewage. Not for use with ethanol or ethanol-blended fuel.

Made of a strong plastic, these samplers are rigid enough to push through tough layers of sludge to collect a complete sample. A valve lets in liquids and solids, then blocks them from going out. Samplers are clear and marked with 1-ft. graduations, so you can view and measure what’s inside. Press down on the valve pin to empty.

These samplers consist of three hollow 5-ft. tubes. Screw together as many as you need to match the depth of your tank. Since they’re detachable, they’re easy to transport. Add extensions (sold separately) to make samplers longer.

Made from PTFE plastic, these dippers are more chemical resistant than other plastic dippers.

Reach into large tanks and vats with these ladles.

Scoop, stir, and pour with these sturdy metal ladles.

Styles A and B are plain, unfinished steel. These heavy duty ladles are often used in foundries.
