Gas Vapor Probe (GVP) Kits utilize a slide hammer or an electric combination rotary hammer drill along with GVP extensions to insert our stainless steel GVP tips to the desired sampling point. Before driving GVP tips, please ensure that the Fluoropolymer tubing is properly connected to the barbed fitting for convenient sampling.
Choose from our selection of two GVP tips specifically designed for our GVP Kits – GVP Dedicated Tips and GVP Retract-A-Tips.
GVP Dedicated Tips are strategically installed as permanent disposable sampling points. They serve the purpose of investigating hydrocarbon spills, underground storage tank and pipe leaks, landfill contamination, and hazardous waste.
GVP Retract-A-Tips are inserted into the soil and then opened for sample extraction. Due to their design, equilibrium time is reduced from final installation to sampling. In addition to their innovative design, Retract-A-Tips offer the incredible advantage of being easily decontaminated and ready for reuse at the next sampling point. They can also be used for shallow groundwater sampling.

Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network: Building Trust in Citizen Science Programs
Citizen science programs have popped up across the United States, focusing on connecting local communities with nearby water resources and building a trustworthy data pool over the sampling period. While commonly utilized as a means of ensuring that large watersheds or lake regions are adequately sampled, the credibility and success of such programs have been called into question. [caption id="attachment_38996" align="alignnone" width="940"] HRWC volunteers measure stream velocity across a subsection of Woods Creek, a tributary of the Huron River near Belleville, Michigan. Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.

Monitoring Lake Erie’s Eastern Basin: Building Long-Term Data and Real-Time Public Solutions
In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, off the coast of Dunkirk, New York, a data buoy collects valuable water quality, weather, and wave data that inform residents and regulatory groups of conditions on the water. Since 2011, Buffalo State University’s Great Lakes Center has maintained and operated the Dunkirk buoy with funding from the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and field support from the NYSDEC Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit. [caption id="attachment_38976" align="aligncenter" width="940"] The Dunkirk Buoy viewed from the research vessel after being deployed in early spring.

SonTek CastAway-CTD Meter Review
Lightweight and easy to use, the SonTek CastAway offers a convenient 3-in-1 solution for measuring conductivity, temperature, and depth profiles. At a 5 Hz sampling rate, the CastAway is designed for up to 1 m/s free-fall through the water column. With fast response and accurate conductivity, temperature, and depth measurements, the CastAway is ideal for thermocline and halocline profiling. The unit also reports salinity and speed of sound.
