EnglishWhat is AMS Samplers and what does the website offer?
Updated
AMS (ams-samplers.com) is a U.S. manufacturer of sampling and testing tools that has been producing soil sampling equipment since 1942. The website is the company's official online store, where you can browse and buy equipment for agricultural, geotechnical, environmental, and groundwater work. It is aimed at professionals and organizations that need to collect accurate field data — soil probes, augers, core samplers, gas vapor tools, groundwater instruments, and more — rather than at casual home gardeners.
What the company is
AMS describes itself as a leader in manufacturing soil sampling equipment since 1942, with workmanship done in the USA. That long manufacturing history is the main signal that this is a producer of specialized field tools, not just a reseller. The site functions as the official online store for those tools.
Product categories on the site
The product line is organized around the type of sampling or testing you need to do:
| Category | Example tools mentioned |
|---|---|
| Soil sampling | Soil probes, soil augers, soil core samplers |
| Soil gas sampling | Gas vapor implants, gas vapor probe samplers |
| Sludge and sediment sampling | Sand and sediment probes, core samplers, dredges |
| Geotechnical sampling and testing | Infiltration rings, pocket penetrometers, dynamic cone penetrometers |
| Groundwater sampling and monitoring | Bailers, product interface and water level meters, peristaltic pumps |
The site also references a "Pro Series Samplers" line, linked from its pricing section, which suggests tiered or professional-grade options within the catalog.
Who it is for
The applications listed — agricultural, geotechnical, environmental, and groundwater — point to a professional audience: environmental consultants, geotechnical engineers, agronomists, groundwater monitoring teams, and field researchers. If your project requires collecting soil, gas, sediment, or water samples for analysis, this is the kind of supplier you would look at.
How to use the site
- Identify your sampling medium (soil, soil gas, sludge/sediment, groundwater) or your testing need (e.g., penetration testing).
- Go to the matching category from the list above.
- Review the specific tools in that category — for example, choose a soil probe versus an auger versus a core sampler depending on whether you need a shallow point sample, a bored sample, or an intact core.
- Check the Pro Series Samplers section if you need higher-grade or heavier-duty options.
- Purchase through the official online store.
What to keep in mind
- The site confirms U.S. manufacturing since 1942, but it does not publish prices in the material reviewed here — you will need to check individual product pages or the store for current pricing and availability.
- Product suitability depends on your soil type, sampling depth, and whether you need disturbed or undisturbed samples; the category descriptions help you narrow this down, but match the tool to your field conditions before buying.
- Because the catalog spans several distinct disciplines, it helps to know your application first (agricultural vs. geotechnical vs. environmental vs. groundwater) so you land in the right section quickly.
