Ask for informationThe HydraSleeve 600 mL is a passive groundwater sampler designed to collect discrete samples from monitoring wells without altering the water table or mixing fluids from different strata. Its design consists of a flexible polyethylene sleeve with a self-sealing valve that remains closed during installation and only opens during retrieval, ensuring that the sample volume (approximately 600 mL) comes exclusively from the desired interval. This method avoids the use of pumps or traditional purging techniques, reducing time consumption and purge water waste, making it an efficient and representative solution for environmental and water quality studies.
- Sample volume: ~600 mL, ideal for most chemical analyses.
- Compact design: Flexible and lightweight polyethylene (LDPE) sleeve.
- No-purge system: No need to extract or discard water prior to sampling.
- Easy to use: Quick installation without the need for complex equipment.
- Self-sealing valve: Ensures sampling occurs only during recovery.
- Disposable: No need for post-use cleaning or disinfection.
- Environmental monitoring of groundwater in contaminant assessment situations.
- Collection of representative samples for detailed chemical analysis (metals, VOCs, SVOCs, etc.).
- Remediation studies to assess treatment effectiveness.
- Monitoring of low-yield wells where purging can be difficult or impossible.
- Vertical contaminant profiling by using multiple samplers at different depths.
-
Installation: The sampler is introduced empty to the depth of the interval of interest in the monitoring well.
-
Equilibrium: It is left to settle so that the surrounding water returns to its natural state after installation.
-
Recovery: When raising the sampler at a proper speed, the self-sealing valve opens and fills with aquifer water.
-
Closure: When filled, the valve closes automatically, keeping the sample unmixed with water from other levels.
- Time Saving: Enables sampling much faster than traditional purging methods, significantly reducing field time.
- Reduced Costs: Eliminates expensive equipment, the need for purging and wastewater treatment.
- Representativeness: Captures "in situ water" from a specific interval with minimal parameter alteration.
- Lower Impact: Does not alter the well's water level or generate waste.
- Easy Transport and Storage: Lightweight and compact, ideal for fieldwork.
