Heated Seep Sampler for Methane Collection
­The Woods Hole Heated Seep Sampler is designed to circumvent the challenges below by pre-heating seawater within a sample collection funnel and continuing to heat a collected sample following accumulation, thereby preventing hydrate formation at depth. The sampler can also be configured with an unheated funnel for the collection of samples at depths...

CAmera To Analyze INvertebrates (CATAIN)
­CATAIN (CAmera To Analyze INvertebrates) is a camera system designed to monitor and study biofouling. The system consists of a high-resolution machine-vision camera, macro lens, computer hardware, and batteries inside a housing. The housing’s acrylic end-cap serves as a fouling panel, and organisms are photographed through the end-cap from...

RotoBOD
­Bench-top instrument to measure oxygen consumption in small, suspended samples. The design utilizes a motor to rotate 60 gas-tight incubation bottles horizontally at user-determined speeds. It enables particles to stay in suspension through constant rotation to better replicate the activity the particles would show in their normal environment....

Sensor for Aqueous Gases in the Environment (SAGE)
SAGE supports field-portable, in-situ, space-constrained applications and bench-top measurements. The sensor can measure dissolved gases in liquids using only milliliters of the sample, producing a sample analysis time of only minutes, and can reach single ppm-level detection limits. In addition, using a hollow-core fiber optic sensor allows analysis...
