Motodo Plankton Splitter General Procedures
- Level table with adjusting screws
- Pour sample into mixing area
- Rotate splitter on rocker arm
- Sample is split by cutting edge and contained into two compartments
- One of the compartments is easily drained while the other holds the remaining half sample for further fractionation (when splitting a single sample more than once, this feature conserves one step as compared to the Folsom method - See Folsom Plankton Splitter)
Motodo Unit Includes:
- Polycarbonate splitting console
- 1.5 liter sample capacity
- Balance table with levelling screws
Options:
- Larger sample capacity models
- Multiple subsampling consoles
- Micro volume (0.5 liter) size
NOTES:
Designed for multiple fractionations upon a single sample since a “half – sample” is always retained within the console. Preferred method for splitting icthyoplankton samples and benthic samples with coarse woody/gravel debris.
