    General-purpose water sampling of:

  • Physical (temperature)
  • Chemical (dissolved gasses, nutrients, metals)
  • Biological (phyto-bacterio-zoo-icthyo-plankton)
  • Free-flushing nonmetallic water sample containment
  • Messenger actuated vertical release mechanism is simple and easy to arm
  • Single moving part design with spring-loaded release pin provides reliable operation
  • Clear polycarbonate or opaque PVC construction
  • Standard sampler volumes (l) 1.2, 2.2 and 5.0 liter
  • Heavy-duty Latex band internal closure with fail-safe back-up cord; fully-adjustable and easy to replace (see water sampler spare parts and accessories)
  • Ultra-clean polyethylene and silicone and stainless steel construction
  • Clear polycarbonate water samplers allow users to see water sample before subsampling; clear samplers are useful when targeting evasive zooplankton
  • Opaque PVC water samplers are primarily used to collect phytoplankton without “shock inhibition”
  • Multiple samplers on a single wire can be deployed for serial (“in-series”) collection of water at various depths
