Sampling & Monitoring

  • VOC Sampling in Water or Soil Gas Sampling FEP or PTFE tubing is commonly referred to as 'Teflon® Tubing'. Teflon® is a registered trademark of DuPont, and they were the first company to discover these types of plastics in the 1940s. Fieldtech Solutions stocks clear FEP tubing for soil gas sampling in 1/4" OD size in 15m and 60m rolls. We can also supply a range of PTFE in larger diameter sizes.
  • Drilling standards for environmental applications often require that wells are drilled without the introduction of fluids. To achieve this goal hollow augers can be utilised in unstable formations where solid stem augers are not effective. 3 sizes of timber plugs are now available for your hollow stem auger installations. Made from recycled timber for sustainability.

  • Sterile-filter and store 150 mL up to 1000 mL of cell culture media using trusted Stericup® filter units, which include a bottle-top filter and a receiving flask, and Steritop® bottle-top filters.

  • The Mityvac Silverline Hand Pump can be used for filtering water samples, using either vaccum or pressure to move the sample through the filter. Most commonly they are used on the vaccuum setting in conjunction with the Stericup filters.
  • Silicone Peristaltic Tubing is flexible and soft, making it suitable for peristaltic pumps. FieldTech Solutions Peristaltic Silicone Pump tubing is available in 15 m individually wrapped coils, available in these sizes:
    • 1/8" ID / 1/4" OD, 15m roll
    • 4.8mm ID x 9.5mm OD, 15m roll, for use with Geotech Peristaltic Pump
    • 1/4" ID / 3/8" OD, 15.2m roll
    • 5/16" ID / 1/2" OD (7.9mm ID x 12.7mm OD) 15m roll
  • The portable tubing reel is a great solution for tubing management when groundwater sampling. Made from high quality steel and powder coated blue for a professional finish. It folds down flat to easily fit in the boot of a car, and can be assembled in less than a minute. It will hold either 1 or 2 reels of BioTubing with ease.  
  • The QED Soil Hydrocarbon Analyser is a total organic hydrocarbon in soil and groundwater analyser that can accurately analyse both soil samples and water samples on site. Suitable for direct on-site detection and analysis, it can be synchronized with the on-site investigation and sampling team or in the field. During excavation or in the early stage of pollution, quickly determine the source of gasoline (GRO) or diesel (DRO) or other oil pollution. The QED Hydrocarbon Analyser can reliably identify petroleum hydrocarbon in the sample, as it uses the same solid state micro-spectrometers used by NASA to provide unrivalled accuracy in identifying petroleum hydrocarbons and PAHs. The QED Soil Hydrocarbon Analyser can also solve the error of interfering substances caused by natural plant corruption in current laboratory analysis methods. The QED Soil Hydrocarbon Analyzer can reduce the laboratory analysis costs and provide a faster and more convenient quick screening qualitative and quantitative method on site.

  • Biodegradable Cleaning Concentrate Quantumclean is a highly effective decontamination and cleaning liquid which is also biodegradable. It can be used to clean pumps, bailers, tubing, soil augers, or any sampling equipment where cross-contamination between sampling locations is a concern. Quantum clean can also be used to clean radioactive contamination. Quantumclean is a concentrated mixture of surfactants, chelating agents, stabilising agents and alkali salts in aqueous solution. The mixture is non-flammable, completely water miscibleand biodegradable. Quantum clean does not containphosphates or poly-fluoroalkyl substances.
  • Simply the best way to manage tubing for low-flow groundwater sampling

    • The Rapid Reel is a simple cardboard tubing dispenser for our biodegradable tubing for low-flow sampling
    • Low-flow sampling has just been made easier
    • Simply connect the tubing to your sampling pump then deploy down the well, letting the tubing flow easily out of the Rapid Reel box
    • Clean and simple
    Testimonials:

    "I used the rapid reel last time I was groundwater sampling and thought it was great. Made life so much easier, especially on the deep wells." (Samantha Walsh - Landserv)

    “I have to say, when I saw the rapid reel on your website, memories sprung to mind of countless times spent fighting soggy cardboard reels and unruly tubing. The Rapid Reel did live up to my expectations. It definitely helped keep my ute/workspace tidier, and it was quicker and easier to reel out the quantity I needed." (Anonymous - Ventia)
  • These general multipurpose gloves are suitable for multiple applications and trades including gardening, parts handling and tool operations. Reduced thickness ensures optimum tactility when working on delicate projects, provides comfort and flexibility during extended wear. These reusable landfill biodegradable multipurpose gloves can be disposed of in the general rubbish bin, and once disposed to landfill, biodegradation is accelerated approximately 90% than conventional multipurpose gloves, producing an organic matter (a natural fertiliser) and no microplastics.

  • Low Cost, No Purge Groundwater Sampler These types of samplers are fast becoming a popular method for groundwater sampling on many Australian sites. Sleeve samplers make groundwater sampling a simple, three-step operation that can be more effective than purging or low-flow sampling. The low-cost, disposable sleeve captures a core of water from any discrete interval in the screened portion of the well with no change in water level and minimal disturbance to the water column. The sleeve is sealed except during sample collection, then re-seals itself, assuring that a formation quality sample is recovered. The tripod stand option provides a convenient place to hang a full sampler while filling sample bottles. Independent laboratory testing confirms that sleeve samplers are PFC/PFAS-free, based on analysis for 28 different PFCs at extremely low detection limits.
  • Soil Vapour Implants can be used for permanent or temporary installations. They can be used for soil gas sampling, air sparging, and even groundwater sampling. They are an accurate and economical way to sample soil vapour. These popular mesh implants come with a barb on top to connect to 1/4” Teflon® tubing. A threaded bottom connection allows connection to a weight to pull the implant down during installation. The implant mesh allows easy passage of the soil vapours to pass in from the target zone into the tubing. The barb allows leak free and tool-less connection of the Teflon® or other similar tubing up to the surface. A range of surface connection fittings are available to provide flexibility to various connection methods at the surface. Installation involves drilling or augering a hole down to the target zone, placing in an implant with connected tubing. Then backfilling around the implant with sand and gravel pack across the target zone. Finally filling back in with soil and or bentonite to make a seal from the surface. The top end of the tubing is where the soil vapour sample is drawn from. When not in use keep this capped.

    Do I need a weight? Due to the coiled Teflon® tubing acting like a spring, it can bind on the sides of the bore. For shallow installations of a few metres, a weight may not be necessary. For deeper installations a weight is recommended to pull the implant down to the bottom.
