 The McLane Bore Hole model WTS-LV recently contributed to interdisciplinary field work on the subglacial environment at Subglacial Lake Whillans. The Whillans Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling project (WISSARD) used a variety of tools including a Bore Hole WTS-LV to explore Subglacial Lake Whillans and the nearby grounding zone, on the southeastern edge of the Ross Sea.

The Bore Hole WTS-LV collected samples onto filters for 16S RNA-based microbial community analysis using DNA and reverse transcribed RNA. This WTS-LV model fits down a 30cm borehole to collect samples from the hydrological liquid water system that lies below the Antarctic ice sheets. The WTS-LV includes a 4L/min pump, with the ability to pump water (in tandem) through membrane filters of 3 different pore sizes to partition particulates based on size. The sampler is designed to operate to depths of 5,000 meters.
