The Burkle MiniSampler PTFE is a complete, hand-operated vacuum sampling system designed for liquid sampling applications where high sample purity and chemical resistance are important. Its PTFE suction hose and PFA sample bottle help minimise contact between the sample and other materials during collection.
Designed for sampling non-flammable liquids from barrels, canisters, tanks and other containers, the MiniSampler draws liquid through a 5 m PTFE suction hose into an included 180 mL PFA sample bottle. The complete system is supplied with a vacuum pump, hose weight, hose cutter, sample seals and a protective transport case.
The MiniSampler PTFE is supplied as a complete sampling set, ready to assemble for suitable applications.

The materials that come into contact with the sampled liquid are:
Other components include a PA pump head, POM pump cylinder, PTFE threaded adapter and NBR seals. Confirm the chemical compatibility of all wetted materials with the liquid being sampled before use. PTFE and PFA offer broad chemical resistance, but compatibility must be evaluated for the specific medium and operating conditions.
The MiniSampler PTFE is intended for liquid sampling where sample purity is a priority. Potential applications include:
Use only by qualified personnel, with appropriate protective equipment and ventilation for the sampled medium. Always consult the manufacturer's instruction manual and verify material compatibility before use.
The MiniSampler PTFE is a manual vacuum sampler for collecting liquid samples from drums, tanks, canisters and other containers. Its PTFE tubing and PFA sample bottle make it suitable for applications where sample purity and chemical compatibility are important.
Manufacturer part number 5305-0110 includes a manual vacuum pump, one 180 mL PFA sample bottle, 5 m of PTFE tubing (6 × 8 mm), a hose cutter, a stainless steel hose weight, 20 Seal-it bottle seals and a carrying case.
The manufacturer specifies a maximum suction height of 5 metres, depending on the liquid being sampled. The narrow 8 mm outside-diameter tubing can also reach relatively small container openings.
The PTFE version is intended for higher-purity sampling and includes PTFE tubing and a PFA collection bottle. The PE version is designed for general-purpose liquid sampling. Choose based on the chemical properties of your sample and your contamination-control requirements.
Not for every chemical. Bürkle specifically excludes aggressive acids and bases and highly flammable or explosive liquids because vapours can damage the pump or create safety risks. Check the complete sampler's chemical compatibility, not just the PTFE tubing, before use.
The sample travels through the suction tubing directly into the collection bottle rather than through the pump mechanism. Tubing can be replaced between samples, and collection bottles can be sealed after sampling. Follow your laboratory's cleaning and contamination-control procedures.
Yes. Bürkle offers replacement PTFE tubing, compatible PFA sample bottles and other MiniSampler components. Contact Cambridge Environmental with your required part numbers and quantities to confirm Canadian availability.
It can be used for appropriate liquid sampling in environmental, industrial and research laboratories. Suitability depends on the sample chemistry, temperature, required sampling method and any applicable quality or regulatory procedures.
