Sampling Methods: Sample Types01:18

Sampling Methods: Sample Types

190
Sampling materials are classified into three main types: solid, liquid, and gas.
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a prototype of a fully autonomous liquid sampler.
  • To enable robust and reusable liquid sampling in diverse environments.
  • To facilitate scientific characterization of natural and planetary liquid settings.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the Autonomous Planetary Liquid Sampler (APLS) prototype.
  • Implementation of autonomous extraction, cleaning, and sterilization functionalities.
  • Testing in laboratory conditions with *Bacillus subtilis* and varying temperatures/pressures.

Main Results:

  • The APLS demonstrated safe and robust autonomous operation.
  • A 250 mL liquid sample acquisition took 28 seconds.
  • The system includes a 3.2-hour sterilization cycle at 150 °C for reusability.

Conclusions:
