Ocean Diagnostics has recently introduced a new technology upgrade to our Ascension depth sampler for microplastics applications. The previous impeller pump, which had a 400-litre maximum pump capacity, has been replaced with a new hybrid pump that can pump 2,000 litres of water in a single battery charge.* This change will help researchers meet new microplastics sampling standards.
Pictured above: View of the new pump on the Ascension microplastics depth sampler.

All future Ascension orders will integrate this pump for microplastics applications. Our next Ascension production run begins this fall. Contact our sales team with questions or to place your order.
