A simple nonmetallic device is described which allows the gentle enclosure of a few hundred liters of water from discrete depths in flexible plastic bags for in situ time‐series studies. The disposable bags close without rigid moving parts, remain in situ, and are pump‐sampled from the surface. The system can be deployed at sea and used for radiotracer experiments.
