Overview
AMS Manual Cable-Controlled Discrete Liquid Samplers are used to collect discrete or composite liquid samples in drums, tanks, ponds, lagoons, and other surface water bodies. They are also recommended for use in monitoring wells with inner diameters of 2" or larger. Made of stainless steel with fluoropolymer bodies, they are heavier than most bailers, allowing for an easy, straight deployment into liquids.
Operation
Samplers are lowered into the liquid to be sampled and opened at a given depth by cables or valves, depending on the product. Samplers come with 25' of cable, but you can purchase more cable if needed to sample at deeper depths. The sampler is retrieved, and samples are transferred to other containers for shipment to a laboratory for analysis.
Features
- Heavier than bailers for smoother, straighter deployment
- Can be used to sample to depths in excess of 25'
- Cable-control handle allows the upper valve of all models to be opened and closed for discrete sampling
- Easy take-apart design for decontamination and cleaning
- Fluoropolymer sampler container is clear for quick field examination
- Allows for sampling of drums, tanks, lagoons, open waters, and monitoring wells that are 2" inner diameter and larger

Angler-Driven Citizen Science: Monitoring Black Bass Populations in Arkansas
In Arkansas, the rugged terrain of the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains dominates the north and west, eventually yielding to the vast, fertile flatlands of the Mississippi River Delta to the east. Hundreds of reservoirs and lakes punctuate the landscape, while swift streams snake through the valleys and hills, eventually giving way to the slow-moving rivers and bayous in the south. The waterways of the state are teeming with life. Black bass dominate most of these ecosystems and have drawn anglers for centuries. The most sought-after fish in one of the country's most prominent fishing states, Arkansas treasures its black bass populations.

White Lake in Western Michigan is a vestige of North America’s glacial past, and gets its name from an interpretation of the Indian, “Wabish-Sippe,” meaning the river with white clay. The twin towns of Whitehall and Montague, which nestle on White Lake’s shore, have shared a close connection with the lake since their foundation–from the growth of the lumbering industry, to industrializsation, the expansion of tourism, and most recently, environmental protection. The White Lake Association (WLA) was founded in 1988 by residents concerned about proposed development at the lake’s northern end.

The flow dynamics of rivers and streams play an essential role in the chemical and physical functions of aquatic ecosystems. In Maine, varying flows in the Penobscot River Basin have impacted the health of the ecosystem, water resource use, and habitat suitability for native species—topics of particular concern to the Penobscot Indian Nation , who have been protecting and managing the waterway for millennia. Parts of the Penobscot basin have been monitored by the USGS stream gage network, which covers larger streams and rivers but excludes many of the small streams found on tribal lands.
