A protocol for cleaning and deploying the sampler and an analytical method were developed.
In addition, the passive sampler semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) were deployed at the sampling points with a significant increase in micronuclei frequency.
Sampling tubes were sent to each location by Royal Mail, where they were received and deployed at the sampling site within a few days (stored tubes were kept at room temperature).
At depth intervals of 2 4 m, the drilling was interrupted to deploy the needle-sampler for collecting a total of 104 slurry samples (~100 mL) of groundwater and sediment from a depth ~0.3 m below the bottom of the drill hole (see additional file 1).
It has become increasingly apparent, for example, with the discovery of DNA-based traps [ 21], that neutrophils can deploy different strategies for the sampling, capture and clearance of invading pathogens.
This paper reports on the sampling strategies deployed for an ethnographic case study that, to explore connections between pet care and human health, focused on pet owner's involvement in treating dogs and cats for diabetes [ 3, 4].
SS programmed, deployed and collected the sample data.
The sampling system was deployed in the field in central Chile.
Common monitoring practice involves deploying the whole fish sampling arsenal on every occasion – boats, electro-shockers, dip nets, fyko nets, seine nets, and hook-and-line.
The field blanks were then extracted using the same method as for the deployed sampler.
