| Autosampler1 | Silicon tubing, plastic collection vessel | Composite samples | Metals, non-metallic inorganics, nutrients, demands, radiological |
| Teflon tubing, glass collection vessel | Composite samples | Organics, non-metallic inorganics, nutrients, demands, radiological | |
| Kemmerer | SS or glass, acrylic stopper | Grab @ specific depth | All inorganics |
| Bucket, beaker, unpreserved sample bottle, dipper2 | SS, glass or Teflon Plastic | Discrete grab Discrete grab |
All All inorganics |
