Sub-Zero Sample Preservation

WS 98 F Freezing Sampler

The WS 98 can preserve samples by immediately depositing them directly in its cooler. The removable cooler can then be brought to the lab, ensuring that the cold chain is never broken. Thanks to the unique distributor system, a variety of bottles can be filled.

The WS 98 F features the same benefits as the WS 98, and in addition offers the following functions:

  • Active refrigeration for sample cooling down to -22 °C
  • Ability to power cooler with socket in vehicle to maintain cold chain during transport
  • Sampler housing, frame and distributor made of stainless steel
  • Controller and other electronic components protected in sampler housing
  • No icing of fill opening
Freezing Sampler

Controller

WaterSam controllers feature user-friendly operation and reliability. Both controller types not only enable to the activation of programs at the same time, they can be also run simultaneously.
Custom software modifications can easily made upon request.

Freezing Sampler

The WaterSam MS3 controller offers user-friendly operation in addition to a range of communications possibilities and the ability to retrieve data from internal and external sources.
Despite the wide-ranging possibilities available, sampler operation is very user-friendly thanks to the 24 keys and large graphic display. Color-coded direct function keys serve to start, pause and stop selected programs. A grab sample can be taken simply by pressing the blue key.
Intelligent sensors can be connected directly to the controller, without the need for a transmitter. If desired, a variety of data can be accessed and retrieved via a USB port.

Sampling Systems

Depending on conditions and requirements, samplers are available with diverse sampling systems:
