Please note that the Automated Filtration for Marine Microbes (AUTOFIM_10001.125) requires experienced scientific staff on board. The system is not operated by the ship's crew. Announce operations with the Automated Filtration for Marine Microbes (AUTOFIM_10001.125) to AWI-Logistics prior to the cruise and clarify the data transfer after the cruise. |
Automated and remote-controlled filtration system for marine microbes (AutoFiM) allows high resolution collection and filtration of marine or freshwater samples at defined time intervals or at defined stations for further molecular analysis of e.g. microalgae. Up to 5 Liters could be sampled and filtrated. In total 12 filters could be stored for about one week in e.g. lysis buffer until the sample plate has to be replaced. Device has its own water supply taking sea water from roll channel at ca. 5m depth. |
