WTS-LV and Metalloenzyme Studies

Seven WTS-LV samplers were deployed recently by WHOI collaborators Dr. Mak Saito and Dr. Phoebe Lam. The cruise, which took place in the Equatorial Pacific between Hawaii and Samoa, was sampling metalloenzymes, which are key catalysts in global biogeochemical cycling. McLane pumps have proven important to metal and protein sample collection and are used by

Tests Use In-Situ Lab

A September C-MORE BioLINCS cruise off the coast of Oahu tested samplers that have real-time, in-situ microbial analysis capabilities. The project used the ESP and other samplers to conduct analysis at sea that traditionally relies on a return to the laboratory. The IPS and TS-SID, prototypes from a joint McLane project with Dr. Craig Taylor of

Profiler Expands from Arctic Ice to Lake Explorations

Ice Tethered Profilers (ITPs) are no longer confined to the Arctic. Designed with shallow ice floes as the deployment target, the ITP is proving that it can meet the sampling challenges of lake environments. The “Lake Moored Profiler” (LMP) has now been deployed in Flathead Lake, Montana and Crater Lake, Oregon. The Crater Lake National Park Service project

NEPTUNE Cruise

Canada’s R/V Thomas G. Thompson recently set sail on a cruise to maintain, recover, and deploy more instruments at the NEPTUNE seafloor observatory. NEPTUNE is the world’s first multi-node regional cabled seafloor observatory, and McLane Sediment Traps and RAS samplers were deployed in 2009 for Phase One of this 25 year project. Daily cruise updates, cruise
