Claim 0:
1. A waste-water sampling system for processing a liquid sample, including:
a retrieving module configured to be fluidically connected to a liquid-source and configured to retrieve a liquid sample from the liquid-source;
a filling module configured to fill the at least two retrieved liquid sample into a sampling container for storing a liquid sample, such that a first liquid sample is in a first sampling container and a second liquid sample is in a second sampling container;
a storing module adapted to store the first and second sampling containers, each filled with the liquid samples;
a disposal module adapted to discard the liquid sample, wherein the disposal module is configured to open the first or second sampling container in a destructive way such that the liquid sample is evacuated from the first or second sampling container, wherein the disposal module comprises a liquid drainage adapted to receive the discarded liquid sample; and
a transporter configured to transport the first or second sampling container filled or not filled with a liquid sample between at least the retrieving module, the filling module, the storing module and the disposal module, wherein the transporter is adapted to choose one desired sampling container out of the at least first and second sampling containers and present the chosen one desired sampling container to a user;
wherein the step of discarding the liquid sample comprises insertion of the liquid sample upstream to the sampling system into the liquid source.
