Instrument Description:

The Multiple Unit Large Volume Filtration System (MULVFS) was first described in Bishop et al., 1985 (doi: 10.1021/ba-1985-0209.ch009). The MULVFS consists of multiple (commonly 12) specialized particulate matter pumps, mounted in a frame and tethered to the ship by a cable (Bishop et al., 1985; Bishop and Wood, 2008). The MULVFS filters particulates from large volumes of seawater, although the exact protocols followed will vary for each project.

PI supplied instrument name: mini-MULVFS
Dataset-specific description

Pumps were deployed with filters placed on “mini-MULVFS” filter holders (see Bishop et al., 2012, L&O Methods and Lam and Morris U.S. patent US 20130298702 A1),
