Mclane Research Laboratories,

McLane Research Laboratories manufactures time series, in situ samplers and profilers for worldwide scientific research. Flotation products are also available. User-programmable water samplers include the Phytoplankton Sampler for collecting filtered samples onto 47mm filters, Remote Access Samplers for collecting 48 water samples, WTS-LV high volume, single event pumps that collect suspended and dissolved particulate samples onto a 142mm membrane filter, and Sediment Traps that collect oceanic particle fluxes. Profiling vehicles such as the McLane Moored Profiler (MMP), Ice Tethered Profiler (ITP) and Prawler travel along a fixed mooring wire carrying sensors that collect data from the deep ocean to the top 500m to the surface. McLane also builds in situ laboratory platforms for advanced phytoplankton image classification and DNA analysis. These instruments include the Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB) and Environmental Sampler Processor (ESP).
