Flydog - Microplastic Sampling Systems
Our flow-through microplastic sampling systems can be installed to seawater intake on research vessels and ferryboxes. Unattended operation and the ability to use existing water infrastructure makes it a cost-effective alternative to surface sampling nets.

Starting and stopping sampling is as easy as pressing a button on the flow meter and opening a valve. It can also be integrated to our ferryboxes or to a third-party system to trigger sampling automatically, based on time or GPS coordinate. Optional machine-readable flow meter allows to automatically sample a specified amount of water
Advantages
- Lower risk of contamination
- Weather-independent operation
- No speed limitations for vessels
- More reliable sampled water volume measurements
- Unsupervised operation reduces sampling costs
Disadvantages
- Sampling depth is restricted to the ship’s water intake depth
- Requires more effort for initial installation on vessels
- Sensitive to large amounts of biological material
- Standard 3/4’ pipe connectors
- Three sieving stages for simultaneous sampling of multiple particle sizes.
- Integrated flow meter with an accuracy of ±0.1%.
- Stainless steel wetted parts up to the sieves.
- Multiple mesh sizes available: 300,100,50 µm
