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.
The Micro DVP uses coaxial Teflon tubing in lengths of 50', 100', 150', and 200' (15m, 30m, 50m, and60 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.
Formation water enters through the filter under hydrostatic pressure into both the inner Teflon tube and the annulus of the coaxial tubes. Drive gas/air is cycled down the annular space between the two tubes to close the lower check valve and push the water up the inner sample tube. The pump is then vented to allow new formation water to enter both tubes under hydrostatic pressure. Air/gas pressures are carefully controlled at all times to ensure that the air/water interface never enters the body of the pump. Repeating the pressure/vent cycle brings the high quality sample to the surface at a controlled rate. The Micro DVP operates with 2ft (0.6m) or more head of water above the intake.
Applications include 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.

Combating Water Insecurity in Saskatchewan with Real-Time Data
The prairies of Saskatchewan can be described as one of the least water-secure parts of Canada, making water quality monitoring essential for informed resource management in a region already facing water insecurity. While natural physical properties worsen some of the poor water quality conditions in the region, others are connected to land use. Having grown up spending summers on the shores of Lake Huron, Helen Baulch, an associate professor at the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan , has always been dedicated to the protection of water resources. Looking back fondly at her childhood playing along the shore, Baulch also recalls the invasion of quagga mussels during her teenage years and watching the lake change as a result.

Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger: Boost your Turbidity Monitoring
The Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger is a self-cleaning turbidity sensor capable of internally logging over 260,000 data records. The sensor enables researchers, compliance officers, and contractors to monitor turbidity in various applications, from construction and dredging sites to wastewater effluent. Due to its narrow width, this device can be deployed in a range of areas, from small well spaces to rivers and streams. The stainless steel housing and built-in wiper allow the sensor to withstand long-term deployments and reduce the need for maintenance trips. The logger accurately records temperature and turbidity up to a depth of 50 meters.
