Sampling - how does it work?

Join the activities of the German Environmental Specimen Bank on 7 September, when the ESB will be demonstrating samplings and sample treatments.

• Sampling of soil and treatment by sieving the sampled material and freezing it over liquid nitrogen.
• Sampling of suspended particulate matter in a sedimentation box.
• Bream of the river Mulde swim in a big pool; their sampling and treatment are described on posters.

Additional posters will inform about the results of soil analysis and the developments for optimising the sedimention boxes.
