    These samplers will return undisturbed samples in soft soils, but are difficult to advance in sands and stiff clays, and can be damaged (compromising the sample) if gravel is encountered. The Livingstone corer, developed by D. A. Livingstone, is a commonly used piston sampler. A modification of the Livingstone corer with a serrated coring head ...

    Viscous drilling mud flowing down the drillpipe collects these cuttings and carry them up outside the drillpipe. As is the case for onshore geotechnical surveys, different tools can be used for sampling the soil from a drill hole, notably "Shelby tubes", "piston samplers" and "split spoon samplers".

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampler_(musical_instrument)

    A sampler is an electronic musical instrument that records and plays back samples (portions of sound recordings). Samples may comprise elements such as rhythm, melody, speech, sound effects or longer portions of music. The mid-20th century saw the introduction of keyboard instruments that played sounds recorded on tape, such as the Mellotron.

  6. Positive displacement pipette - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_displacement_pipette

    Since the piston makes direct contact with the sample, the aspiration force in a positive displacement pipette is unaffected by the sample's physical properties. [3] Several liquid handling companies suggest that positive displacement pipettes can be used to accurately pipette very viscous, volatile, hot or cold, or corrosive samples. [4] [5 ...

    Sampler (signal), a digital signal processing device that converts a continuous signal to a discrete signal; Sampler (needlework), a handstitched piece of embroidery used to demonstrate skill in needlework; Sampler (surname) A quilt where each block is constructed using a different pattern; Sampler, or hydrocarbon well logging, or mud logger

  8. Forward pipetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_pipetting

    As the piston moves upward, driven by the depression of the plunger, a vacuum is created in the space left vacant by the piston. Air from the tip rises to fill the space left vacant, and the tip air is then replaced by the liquid, which is drawn up into the tip and thus available for transport and dispensing elsewhere.
