  • Automated in situ contaminant detection system
    Patent number: 8599382
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for in situ chemical analysis of liquid sample for the collection, identification, and measurement of chemical moieties, such as, biotoxins, organic compounds, or chemical contaminants, in aquatic environments. The apparatuses of the present invention relate to an automated in situ sampler for chemical stressors that adversely impact biological systems in aquatic environments. The apparatuses of the present invention are designed as a means to automatically collect liquid (e.g., water) samples and analyze them for the presence of chemical moieties. The apparatuses of the present invention are designed to automatically collect multiple liquid samples, extract and separate chemical moieties contained within the samples, and analyze the chemical moieties to determine the composition and concentration of the chemical moieties over time and space.
