Convenient for use at remote sites or where no power is available, the Aquamatic Aquacell P2-Coolbox enables the collection and storage of samples at the required 0-50C.
Compared to the potentially expensive mains supply installation required for stationary sampling equipment, it can be a very cost-effective alternative.
For the multiple-sampler user who needs 24-hour composite samples from various sites, the Aquacell P2-Coolbox is ideal.
It enables samplers to be distributed at different locations before the sample is required, and then collected later when the sample has been taken - safe in the knowledge that storage will be at the right temperature.
An integral sample temperature monitoring facility can also be supplied with the Aquacell P2-Coolbox, to give the user the facility of displaying average and actual temperatures.
In addition, this first ever E32-compliant portable sampler can be equipped with an RS232 computer download facility, enabling spot samples to be logged and accessed, together with a record of the sampler activity.
The P2-Coolbox is just part of the Aquamatic proven product portfolio, which offers a comprehensive choice of portable and stationary samplers, based around a single sampler module.
