Successful Acceptance Tests of Deep-ocean High-pressure Samplers for India
A delegation of the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) visited NIOZ to perform acceptance tests for the new NIOZ High Pressure Sampling system. All the tests were performed successfully.
The system can take samples of microbes in the deep ocean to a depth of 6,000m, and bring them to the surface while maintaining their ambient pressure.
For NIOT this is a next step in their deep ocean microbial sampling and incubation project.
