Water Sampling Innovations Introduced to the Environmental Industry
Aqualytical Services has developed a submersible field extraction unit that has captured the continuous sampler ideal of being small, stealth, and able to field sample for extended periods of time continuously in a quantitative manner. It is immune to effects of temperature, flow and bio-fouling, and provides ultra-low quantitative detection capabilities. This innovative device is […]

Organochlorine Pesticides Monitored in Los Angeles using the CLAM
In the summer of 2011, C.I. Agent StormWater Solutions coordinated with the City of Los Angeles to monitor organochlorine pesticides at the end of Ballona Creek where it meets the Pacific Ocean. All 1 liter grab samples came back non-detect while the high volume CLAM samples found several compounds in low levels. Read The Report
