LaMotte Horizontal Water Sampler 1087

Description

The Horizontal Water Sampler is designed to collect approximately 1200 mL of sample water. The sampler is attached to a calibrated line, making it possible to take a sample at a specific depth. The line is calibrated at every meter up to 20 meters. The substantial weight of the sampler insures a rapid descent and helps to minimize drift due to currents. A trigger mechanism is activated by a messenger which travels down the line to trip the closing mechanism and release the chamber end covers. The covers seal the water sample from the chosen depth in the chamber and prevent the sample from mixing with intermediate layers of water as the sampler is brought to the surface. The sampler is made from materials that will not contaminate the sample and are non-corrosive.
