A device that isolates a portion of seabed plus overlying water from its surroundings. Either returns the entire system to the surface or incorporates sampling devices and/or in-situ sensors.
accepted
benthic incubation chambers
A device mounted on a ship that holds water samples under conditions of controlled temperature or controlled temperature and illumination.
shipboard incubators
A rig that allows water samples to be retained from where they were collected whilst physically separated from their surroundings. Includes small-scale incubation rigs and mesocosms.
in-situ incubators
Devices that separate the liquid and solid phases of a sample through forces exerted by rapid rotation.
centrifuges
Devices that separate solid particles larger than a particular size from a sample collected by another device that is a suspension of solid particles in a liquid or gas.
sieves and filters
subclasses: stand alone pump, surface sampler, filter cartridge
Devices in which controlled conditions are maintained for a chemical process to be carried out by organisms or biochemically active substances derived from such organisms.
biorectors and chemostats
Devices in which samples and carriers are brought into chemical equilibrium prior to analysis. For example, a shower head or tower full of marbles used to equilibrate water samples with air that is subsequently analysed for carbon dioxide to give pCO2 in the water sample.
equilibrators
Instruments that repeatedly heat and cool samples in a series of steps. They are typically used to amplify segments of DNA via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). They can also be used to facilitate other temperature-sensitive reactions, including restriction enzyme digestion or rapid diagnostics.
thermal cyclers
A piece of laboratory or industrial equipment used to disrupt and make uniform samples of various types of material, such as tissue, plant, food, or soil.
homogenisers
Passive devices attached to captured organisms to specifically identify them when recaptured after release.
labelling tags
sensor_model
Keyword identifies a sensor model
SeaDataNet sample processor categories
sample processors
Categories used in the SeaDataNet project to classify devices that alter the nature of a sample prior or during property determination.
Sample preparation instrument
High-level classification of devices based on function and mode of deployment.
Governance for vocabularies used in the EU SeaDataNet project implemented as consultation between BODC and the members of the SeaDataNet Technical Task Team
SAP
A submersible battery powered water pump that sucks water through various filters leaving the materials of interest on the filter for analysis. SAPs are deployed clamped to a hydrographic wire and may be used to sample at depths of up to 6000 m. A SAP can pump thousands of litres of water over a few hours.
Stand-alone pump
