SPeeper materials

Sampler for Dissolved Inorganic Compounds, Volatile Organic Compounds, and Petroleum Hydrocarbons

The ideal passive sampler for determining concentrations of many analytes, including metals, dissolved organic carbon, phosphorus, major anions, and other water quality parameters.

The SPeeperTM passive sampler measures water soluble compounds in porewater, surface water, and groundwater.  

The plastic version of SPeeper is ideal for measuring concentrations of many analytes, including metals, dissolved organic carbon, phosphorus, ammonium, and nitrate. The stainless-steel version is well suited for the volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), chlorinated solvents, and petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs). In addition, the stainless-steel SPeeper can be used for monitoring comingled contaminants like PFAS.

A Cost-Effective Solution

  • Passive sampling with SPeeper provides improved understanding of environmental risk and mobility of target compounds because it measures only dissolved contaminants, not precipitated or adsorbed species. This difference can result in significant cost savings by avoiding unnecessary investigation, remediation, and management.

  • These devices simplify fieldwork because they are easy to deploy without the need for large equipment.

  • SPeeper are cost-competitive with traditional chemical measurements, and there is less risk of contamination and overestimation when compared with traditional sampling techniques.

  • The SPeeper membrane keeps samples free from the turbidity that is problematic for analytical methods.
