Overview
The Solinst Model 425 Discrete Interval Sampler is a stainless steel groundwater sampler designed for use with LDPE tubing mounted on a reel. The reel has a pressure attachment for a high-pressure hand pump and a pressure/vent switch, which is used to apply and release the pressure on the sampler. A sample release device is included with each standard Discrete Interval Sampler.
Applications
Discrete interval sampling is ideal for obtaining truly representative groundwater samples from below floating product layers, or for obtaining samples of the product itself. The discrete interval sampler can also be used to profile open bodies of water and boreholes, and to collect samples from distinct levels or points of inflow. The Discrete Interval Sampler is a passive sampler that is pressurized when lowered and upon retrieval to prevent water from mixing at different levels. Designed to give zero purge samples.
Models
Solinst also offers the Model 425-D Deep Sampling Discrete Interval Sampler for obtaining samples from submerged depths as much as 1200m (4000 ft). Biodegradable disposable PVC bailers and stainless steel Point Source Bailers are also available.

Bringing Fish Back: Reviving Britain’s Freshwater Habitats with the Wild Trout Trust
Freshwater covers less than 1% of the Earth’s surface but has an outsized impact on global ecosystems, supporting more than 10% of all known species, reports the World Wildlife Fund . Freshwater environments such as rivers and wetlands provide significant scientific, economic, and cultural value. But pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and a lack of prioritization in environmental policies mean freshwater habitats are recognized as one of the most threatened in the world–something scientists have dubbed an “invisible tragedy. ”

While human infrastructure, urbanization, and industrialization have advanced human societies, the natural environment has suffered due to constructed impediments and deteriorating architecture. In order to combat this degradation, habitat restoration programs across the US work to remove impairments and improve damaged waterways.

In the far north, the Alaska Peninsula stretches away from the Last Frontier into the Pacific Ocean. A narrow strip of land dotted with freshwater lakes and intruded upon by ocean inlets–this unique region is intimately connected with the surrounding water. 
 
Nestled halfway down the peninsula's southern coast are the small villages of Chignik. The area has historically been home to the Aleut people and has been heavily reliant on fishing for centuries. 
 
Home to commercial and subsistence fishing today, Chignik continues to rely upon the salmon returns to the surrounding villages, which are supported by scientists working tirelessly to understand and steward these fish populations.
