Vertical Water Samplers
-
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
