    Operation

    Collect liquid samples from drums, tanks, and other containers. These samplers open and close, so you can gather samples at a targeted depth in your tank. All are autoclavable, so you can sterilize them with steam.
    Polypropylene with Valve Operation—Polypropylene samplers have good chemical resistance. They operate with a valve you can open and close.
    PTFE with Button Operation—PTFE samplers stand up to harsher chemicals than polypropylene samplers. Their naturally slippery surface helps thick liquids slide off for easy cleanup. You can use them one-handed—press the button to let liquid flow in, then release it to close.
    316 Stainless Steel with Pull Ring Operation—Stainless steel samplers are the most durable and chemical resistant. They also resist corrosion. Less porous and less likely to scratch than plastic, they’re easy to sanitize. Open and close them by pulling up on the center ring.

    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 meeting environmental regulations for sewage. Not for use with ethanol or ethanol-blended fuel.
    Made of 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.
    Cellulose—Cellulose samplers are lighter in weight than polycarbonate and work for most applications.
    Polycarbonate—Polycarbonate samplers are more durable and chemical resistant than cellulose. They're also treated to protect against damage from UV rays, so they won’t wear down if you use them outdoors on long jobs.
    Extensions—Add extensions to make samplers longer.

    Large-Capacity Sterile Disposable Liquid Samplers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Liquid Samplers. Large-Capacity Sterile Disposable Liquid Samplers.
    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 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.
    These bags are best for taking large samples. They’re 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. Manufactured free of contaminants and allergens, they are BPA- and latex-free. They’re also TSE/BSE compliant, so they’ve never come into contact with any animal products.
    These liquid samplers are typically used with sampling tube fittings.
