Supply of ISCO 6712 Portable Samplers and Avalanche Refrigerated Sampler to UKCEH

About

UK Centre For Ecology & Hydrology awarded a contract to RS HYDRO LIMITED for the supply of ISCO 6712 full-size portable samplers and an Avalanche refrigerated sampler.

RS Hydro is the only UK distributor of ISCO autosamplers, a product UKCEH has used previously for automatic sample collection.

The ISCO 6712 samplers can be triggered remotely from a mobile phone, enabling a dynamic sampling response to rapidly changing weather conditions.

The Avalanche refrigerated sampler was selected because it is the only such sampler that can fit through the narrow doors of the Thames Monitoring station at Taplow, where it will be located; other refrigerated samplers are too wide.

The purchase also allows for the reuse of bottles and equipment from the Avalanche system being replaced, as well as from the GLS sampler.

The contract value was AUD 31,577.75.
