AQUA SCOPE II UNDER WATER VIEWER:Use this 26" viewer to view secchi disc readings and observe aquatic plant and animal life.
Innovative design eliminates surface glare and internal reflection. Consistent viewing parameters, regardless of
environmental conditions, are possible with this units black interior, flotation collar, neoprene viewing mask,
and handle. Constructed of crush-resistant tube.

ALPHA WATER SAMPLERS:• Blue seals of durable, flexible, high-grade polyurethane resin with attached safety line | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
HORIZONTAL ALPHA WATER SAMPLERS:Intended for shallow or deep waters, these bottles are called horizontal because they descend,
parallel to the bottom. They are pulled sideways just before closing by the operator. This ensures a
representative water sample for that specific depth. They are ideal for sampling at the thermocline,
at other stratification levels, or just above the bottom sediments.
|
|
VERTICAL ALPHA WATER SAMPLERS:Larger bottles are especially good for collecting small plankton.
The wide mouth collects a true water sample with no contamination from other water
levels. During descent, the open mouth does not restrict water flow. This makes
them particularly suitable for collecting plankton, floating sediments and for use
where metallic ion avoidance is desirable.

KEMMERER WATER SAMPLERS:All are available corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and the 1.2L
size is also available in transparent acrylic plastic which allows viewing your
sample before removing it. Seals are soft blue polyurethane (not autoclavable) and
will leach mercury and potential other contaminants in trace amounts. Metal parts
are 316 or 304 stainless steel except fasteners and plastic-coated cables of 18-8
steel. These types of Kemmerer samplers are not suitable for chemical analysis of
contents due to the potential for contamination (i.e. by mercury and phosphorus)
by the materials in the sampler's construction. For chemical analysis, inquire
about the Beta or suggested Kemmerer water samplers. This sampler requires a
messenger and line (not included, except in kits) for operation. A thermometer
can be mounted inside the acrylic Kemmerer bottle (1200-C12 or 1200-C15).

MESSENGERS:
Stainless steel messengers are weights that slide down a line, strike a pad, and cause a sampler to open or
close. Split messengers can slip on or off the line anywhere. Solid messengers are threaded on the
line at the end.

CALIBRATED LINE & WEIGHT:
This 20 meter, braided, stretch-resistant line has a brass spring clip for easy attachment to samplers,
secchi discs, plankton nets or sounding leads. The line wraps conveniently around an ethafoam block
which prevents accidental loss.

LAMOTTE WATER SAMPLER (MODEL: JT-1)
This one liter sampler of clear acrylic is furnished with a 20 meter calibrated line and a lead collar
which assures rapid descent and minimal drift. A brass messenger triggers a release mechanism to seal
the sample chamber with two fitted rubber plungers at the desired sampling depth. The built-in side
outlet and flexible tube allows for removal of the water sample.

|
ECONOMY WATER SAMPLER:This basic water sampler has an impact-resistant, PVC body of 1.75 liters and soft
rubber seals. It is designed for collecting water samples for chemical and biological analysis. The
simple trip mechanism requires no messenger, simply jerk on the line and the sampler closes. Sampling
line sold separately.

LaMOTTE DISSOLVED OXYGEN WATER SAMPLER:
This simplified water sampler features a unique, easy to remove 60 ml collecting bottle which is
specifically designed to work directly with the LaMotte dissolved oxygen test kit,
eliminating sample transfer into second collecting bottle. Sample overflows the collecting bottle
5 times to insure greater representation. Employing a calibrated line allows you to retrieve samples
at controlled depths. For rapid descent and minimal drift in low currents, attach a 2 lb weight sampler.

|
LaMOTTE DISSOLVED OXYGEN / TEMPERATURE SAMPLER:
Collects samples at specific depths. Ideal for collection of dissolved oxygen samples. When trip
line is pulled, dissolved oxygen sample bottle will fill, overflow and flush more than three times
to insure a representative sample. During retrieval, decreasing water pressure prevents exchange of
air and water with sample. Excess water in sample chamber can be used for additional tests such as pH.
Interior chamber accommodates an armored thermometer
(not included) for accurate sample temperature
readings. Accommodates the same sample bottle used in the LaMotte D.O. kit. Use with braided line and
weight (not included).
