Louisiana State University’s Dr. Brent Christner and grad student Amanda Achberger visited McLane in January for training on their Large Volume Water Pump (WTS-LV). The LSU team will be lowering the single event sampler through a bore hole into a glacial lake, some 800m below the Antarctic ice. The pump will help Dr. Christner’s team explore the eco-system in lakes that exist deep under layers of Antarctic ice.
The one-day training consisted of bench testing, programming a deployment, and recovering the pump from the 15 meter test tank in our lab. If you own a McLane profiler or sampler or are thinking of purchasing from our product line, hands-on product training is an ideal way to familiarize you with your instrument prior to deployment. We encourage you to visit our East Falmouth, MA USA facility. You will leave with new product expertise and possibly a McLane T-shirt.
