A fluid sampler is essentially a smart pump that takes a liquid sample from a source and deposits it into one or several containers for inspection. Fluid can either be pulled up the intake hose, or pushed from the source. Two types of samplers are typically used, vacuum/compressor and peristaltic. When choosing a sampler, correct analysis of your application is vital.
