Passive sampling for the monitoring of contaminants in water has emerged as a new technique for time-integrated measurements. In 2015, we developed a ceramic passive sampler (CPS) which has proved efficient to determine organic contaminants in water. Within the frame of GW_CPS, we aim to recover the knowledge and methodology acquired for the abandoned patent to patent the new improved device, scale-up and produce various passive samplers of different dimensions and porosity to be applied for different types of water and during different periods of time. The passive sampler to be designed consists in a porous ceramic tube (with caps) where a polymeric sorbent is placed in the inner side to preconcentrate the analytes.
