C.I.Agent - Continuous Low-Level Aquatic Monitoring (CLAM)

The C.L.A.M. can be used in applications such as sampling of urban water systems, rivers, monitoring wells, drinking water systems, watersheds and lakes, agricultural runoff, storm water and marine environments. There are approximately 100 substances controlled by regulations and that list grows every year with lower detection requirements. The C.L.A.M. is your water monitoring solution.

• Low detection; up to 100 liters with a single field extraction
• Uses low flow rate extraction sampling (5-60 ml/minute)
• The small extraction disk is the only item to be sent to the lab for solvent elution and analysis
• Weighs just over one pound, including the four (4) AA batteries
• The C.L.A.M.’s resilient nylon body housing has Luer lock fittings which allow the filter to be locked to the C.L.A.M.’s body, and interlocking of different filter types in two stage assemblies. Each disk comes pre-conditioned with or without 10 ug of Terphenyl d-14 field surrogate added
• The C.L.A.M. SPE disk media can be specific for non-polar analytes, polar compounds and chelating resin disks to sequester multivalent metal cations all at a neutral pH
• Micro pump suction draws the water through the extraction media first, preventing analyte surface absorption on tubing and pumps
• The media and housing uses special lofted filters to retard fouling
• Unique flow design prevents contamination in tubing or pump

• Comes in a waterproof Pelican field case
• The C.L.A.M. measures 2.5” by 8”
• The C.L.A.M. runs submerged on four AA batteries
• Just sending the small, dry extraction disk to the laboratory for solvent elution and analysis saves costs of extraction, expensive cooler shipments of sample bottles, and seven day holding time requirements.
