Overview
The Solinst Model 408M Micro Double Valve Pump (Micro DVP) has a remarkably small and flexible design. It is a pneumatic pump similar to a Bladder Pump, but using coaxial Teflon tubing rather than a Teflon bladder to give high-quality samples. It is small enough to fit in 1/2" (13 mm) tubing and all channels of the Solinst Model 403 CMT Systems, as its diameter is only 3/8" (10mm). The unique combination of flexibility and size makes the pump easy to transport and install in a variety of applications.
Mechanics
The Micro DVP is ideal for low-flow sampling and narrow down-hole applications. Flow rates of 20 to 150ml/min are obtained, with very small associated purge volumes from within the narrow applications. The Micro DVP is durable and easy to operate using the pre-sets and fine tubing capabilities built into the Solinst Model 466 Electronic Control Unit. It operates with 2ft (0.6m) or more head of water above the intake.
Design
The Micro DVP uses coaxial Teflon tubing in lengths of 50', 100', 150', and 200' (15m, 30m, 50m, and 60 m). The 50 ft. (15 m) pump is also available with LDPE outer drive tube and a Teflon inner tube. The pump body and filter is 6 x 3/8" (150x10mm). It is constructed of coaxial Teflon tubing with stainless steel fittings and a 100 mesh stainless steel filter. Filters are easily cleaned and replaced. A manifold at the top end of the pump has a 3/16" (5mm) Teflon sample tube and a quick-connect fitting for easy attachment to the Control Unit. A multi-purge sampling head is also available for use with the CMT System.
Applications
Groundwater sampling in:
- CMT and Waterloo Multilevel Systems
- Direct-Push/Drive-Points
- Low flow monitoring in narrow diameters

Solinst groundwater samplers: Versatile options for a variety of applications
Groundwater sampling can be a challenging task that requires different tools for different applications. Solinst groundwater samplers offer the capability to obtain commonly needed representative samples of groundwater using different approaches of water withdrawal. Solinst’s 425 Discrete Interval Sampler uses passive sampling to grab water from a specific depth. The 407 Bladder Pump enables continuous airtight low flow sampling. The 408 Double Valve Pump can continuously sample at variable rates. “One sampler isn’t necessarily going to be for every site,” said Randy Blackburn, Solinst product manager. Each has different means of fluid sampling. The 425 sampler relies on a manual air pump that pressurizes the sampler based on the water depth.
Testing CO2 Removal Strategies in the Pacific Northwest
The ocean plays a key role in carbon dioxide (CO2) removal and storage, also known as carbon sequestration. However, with increasing emissions, a large amount of CO2 escapes into the atmosphere, worsening climate change and leading to increases in surface temperatures. In order to mitigate some of these impacts, researchers like Ally Savoie at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are working hard to identify ways to safely improve the CO2 removal and storage capabilities in the ocean. Savoie started her career at Wright State University , where she worked in Silvia Newell’s lab examining biogeochemical cycling of nutrients in a river system. From there, she decided to pursue a master’s in marine science at the University of Southern Mississippi with Dr.
Smart Buoys Advance Climate Monitoring in Swiss Lakes
Lakes are sentinels of climate change . Globally, they are warming at an unprecedented but uneven rate, and in many places they also face direct human pressure, including from agriculture and recreation. In the Alps, scientists generally agree that climate change is of particular threat to remote lakes , where more pronounced warming threatens fragile ecosystems. Alpine Lakes in a Changing Climate Matteo Tonellotto is part of the team at the Environmental Observatory of the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland (OASI)–a multidisciplinary team of scientists, IT specialists, and chemical laboratory technicians committed to collecting, managing, and integrating high-quality environmental data.
Connecting with Nature in Real-Time at the Abernathy Field Station
Just five miles away from Washington and Jefferson (W&J) College is the 57-acre Abernathy Field Station . Generously donated by the Abernathy family in 2017, the field station has served as an outdoor lab to hundreds of undergraduate students over the years. Many classes use the Abernathy Field Station every week. For example, in BIO 111, students spend 15 weeks conducting their own research at the field station using a combination of sampling, field observations, and real-time environmental data, giving them a look into the world of science and a closer relationship with nature. “We like to start the students in the research process in their first Biology class.
