Abstract
A simple system is described to fill six sample bottles simultaneously for subsequent chemical analysis. The system was developed for use in turbid estuarine environments to overcome subsampling difficulties associated with the determination of suspended particulate matter (SPM). It permits both bottle material and sample volume to be varied and is suitable for sampling a range of chemical constituents, e.g. trace metals, nutrients, soluble and particulate organic carbon. The suitability of the sampler for collecting SPM and trace metal data is demonstrated by referring to recent results from the estuary of the River Forth.
