C.L.A.M.

Continuous Low-Level Aquatic Monitoring

The C.L.A.M. is a time-integrative submersible sampler capable of sequestering pollutants utilizing solid phase media field-hardened CLAM Disks.
  • Recharable battery up to 36 hours
  • Onboard volume totalizer to record the volume extracted up to 100 liters
  • CLAM Disks not subject to 7 day holding times – can be frozen to virtually stop the clock
  • CLAM Disk analysis can be split into several subsets; low detection levels, standard laboratory methods
  • Eliminates shipping water

The CLAM  -  Active Field Extractions

Modern Water Sampling Technology

The CLAM’s revolutionary engineering provides a continuous SPE extraction event that can be sustained for up to 36 hours long, which is representative of a hundred liter water sample. This immense amount of data is stored on a small, yet durable, SPE media disk, providing the Environmental Water Testing Laboratory with a 36 hour “video” of results instead of just a “snapshot” in time. This allows for lower detection limits to be achieved by hundredfold, but enhanced testing, although phenomenal, is only a portion of what elevates the CLAM above traditional water sampling equipment.

This water sampling device has enhanced the Environmental Water Testing Lab’s ability to increase profits from every angle of operations. Aside from receiving more conclusive data, the labs are able to mitigate the risks of receiving a bad sample because of shipping complications to almost zero percent, while simultaneously saving on the logistical costs. In addition, the labs can generate an extra revenue stream by leasing the device itself or by prepping the SPE cartridges for the field. This can all be accomplished with no deviations from the current Standard Operating Procedures.
