McLane Product Lines
McLane Research Laboratories, Inc. was founded in 1983 to provide advanced
time-series samplers and engineering design services to the international
oceanographic community. Our established product lines include a range of
instruments designed for biologic, geologic, chemical, physical, and cross-disciplinary
oceanographic research and environmental monitoring. Technical support and advice is
provided one on one with our design engineers and is available via telephone,
fax, or email, in your lab, or out at sea. Our capabilities extend well beyond
our standard time-series instruments and include custom modifications of
hardware and software for the particular needs of our customers and the
design and development of new instrument systems. Contact us at your
convenience for additional information and assistance.

Moored Profiler (MMP)
The McLane Moored Profiler autonomously profiles the water column along a fixed
tether while carrying a selection of oceanographic sensors. Standard instruments include a CTD and an acoustic current meter.
Optional additions include bio-optical, chemical, and suspended particulate sensors. |
 |
Sediment Traps
McLane Sediment Traps sample the flux of settling particulate matter in time-series
according to a user defined schedule. They have played and continue to play an important role in ongoing studies of the
global carbon cycle. In addition to time-series measurement of particle flux, McLane sediment traps are well suited for
paleoproxy and radionucleide investigations and can readily be used for environmental and pollution monitoring.

ZooPlankton Sampler (ZPS)
The McLane ZooPlankton Sampler is designed for the in situ collection of
zooplankton. Up to 50 samples are collected and preserved on a user defined schedule and without damage to the
organisms. Velocity and light gradients are minimized in the sample volume to avoid triggering escape responses.

 |
Water Transfer Systems (WTS)
McLane Water Transfer Systems collect up to 24 samples in autonomous, user defined,
time-series using 47mm or 142mm filters or extraction columns. Large volume systems collect single samples onto 142mm
filters, commonly while suspended from the hydrowire of a research vessel. WTS and WTS-LV systems equipped with suitable
filters can be used to collect suspended particles, particulate trace metals, and phytoplankton. Using extraction columns, a
WTS can be used to collect time-series samples of dissolved compounds, dissolved radionucleides, and dissolved trace metals.

 |
Remote Access Samplers (RAS)
McLane Remote Access Samplers collect and preserve up to 48 water samples in
autonomous, user defined, time-series into 100ml or 500ml lined bags. RAS systems are suitable for the collection of
dissolved major and minor nutrients, dissolved trace metals, and dissolved organic carbon. |

Flotation and Mooring Products
Our line of mooring products includes glass flotation (in many configurations),
glass instrument housings, steel flotation, turnkey mooring systems, and mooring recovery floats. |
