General concept of samplers

Samplers are devices or instruments designed to collect representative samples of specific materials, substances or media, for later analysis in a laboratory or on-site. Its main function is to obtain a portion of the study medium that allows evaluating its physical, chemical or biological characteristics.

These equipment are used in various disciplines such as engineering, environmental chemistry, geology, construction, and industry, to ensure that the samples obtained are reliable and representative of the environment or material sampled. The correct use of samplers contributes to the quality of the analysis and decision making based on accurate data.

Liquid samplers

Liquid samplers are designed to extract specific volumes of liquids, whether water, oils, fuels, or chemical solutions. They can be manual or automatic and are adapted to avoid contamination or alteration of the sample during collection.

Within this category are samplers with pneumatic pumping systems, submersible pumps, or devices that operate by controlled suction. They are common in quality monitoring of wastewater, aquifers and industrial processes.

The design of these samplers guarantees that the sample is representative of the extraction point, allowing precise analysis of parameters such as pH, turbidity, contaminant content or presence of microorganisms.

Air samplers

Air samplers are instruments that capture particles, gases or vapors present in the atmosphere for evaluation. They are fundamental in studies of air quality, environmental control and occupational health.

There are different modalities, such as suspended particle samplers (MP10, MP2.5), volumetric samplers and specific gas samplers. Its design may include filters, absorption chambers or pumping systems to capture air and retain contaminants.

These devices allow determining the concentration of atmospheric pollutants, evaluating the effectiveness of ventilation systems or detecting the presence of toxic substances, contributing to environmental protection and public health.
