Water & Sediment Samplers

Wildco Alpha Water Samplers Vertical PVC

$ 582.50 USD

Alpha™ Van Dorn-style bottles have flexible, plunger-like blue polyurethane end seals for reliable sealing. Black latex tubing is used to close the bottle because it better resists decay in sunlight and in water than amber tubing. It is an extremely strong elastic material but may leach a small amount of heavy metals or other contaminants. The end seals may leach trace amounts of mercury into the water sample in the range of 20 - 450 ng/L (nanograms per liter). End seals may also leach phosphorus in small amounts.

When tripped by a messenger, the urethane end seals snap tightly onto each end of the cylinder, producing an almost leakproof seal. A small amount of sample is always lost until a slight vacuum forms inside as the sealed sampler is lifted. Alpha™ bottles feature a stainless steel trip head for durability and high performance. Nylon safety line connects the end seals to hold them in place even if the latex tubing breaks.

Use vertical bottles in mildly corrosive water, marine water and water with large amounts of suspended solids or adhesive colloidal solids to collect plankton and floating sediments. 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. Your choice of transparent acrylic or more durable opaque PVC.

Alpha samplers are not suitable for trace metal analysis due to the potential for contamination (i.e. mercury and phosphorus) by the materials in the sampler’s end seals. For trace metal analysis, choose the beta bottle water samplers.

A thermometer can be mounted inside acrylic alpha bottles.

NOTE: Volume may vary slightly. It is recommended that you verify the exact volume of your bottle prior to use.

Wildco Beta Water Samplers Horizontal PVC

$ 532.41 USD

• No metal parts to touch your sample.
• Designed for trace metal sampling.
• May be used for organic sampling to concentrations of mg/L.
• Beta Bottle Only or kit available.

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. These popular and versatile bottles come in your choice of transparent acrylic or opaque PVC. PVC is more durable and less costly, but the acrylic allows you to view the bottle contents immediately.

When running metal, organic, or any other chemical analyses, it is best to run a blank on the sampler prior to use.

Alpha 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, choose our Beta or suggested Kemmerer water samplers.

Beta bottles are excellent for near off-shore (to 200 m) trace metal sampling, since there are no metal parts to touch your sample. You avoid the metallic ion contamination that can cause major errors in algal assays or productivity. Beta™ Van Dorn bottles have rigid, white plastic end seals for clean sealing. The bottle ends are machined to fit foam silicone gaskets. Amber latex tubing, which does not leach measurable amounts of metal, closes the bottle. Beta™ bottles feature a nylon safety line connecting the end seals, so if the closing tube breaks, you’re less likely to lose your expensive seals. This is why Beta™ bottles have an excellent track record in a wide variety of field conditions.

This sampler requires a messenger and line (included in kits) for operation. A thermometer can be mounted inside acrylic bottles.

NOTE: Volume may vary slightly. It is recommended that you verify the exact volume of your bottle prior to use.

Eijkelkamp Beeker Sediment Core Sampler

Request Quote

The Beeker type sediment sampler is rod-operated and has a closable cutting head and piston. This sampler is used for high accuracy sampling of very soft to medium hard sediment layers. A standard and extended set are available.

With the Beeker sampler, you can take undisturbed sediment samples in a fast and certain way from watery sediment to unconsolidated sand to a depth of 5 metres. Even in watery conditions, the sample will not be lost thanks to the closable cutting head. Using additional extension rods, sampling to greater depths is possible in certain cases. The Beeker sediment core sampler works almost the same way as a Multisampler / piston sampler, but with a lockable head with inflated membrane.

Key Feactures

• Takes samples fast and certain
• Sample can be emptied into clean stainless-steel bucket, or layer by layer in wide necked sample jar
• Soil profile description and classification
• Contaminant free stainless steel body
• Possible to hammer the sampler

Method

The samples are taken in a transparent tube which allows you to make a clear profile description. The sampler has long sampling tubes of 1 metre. The piston can be operated directly with a rod, so that the sample can be pushed out of the sampler on site into a sample bucket. The apparatus is pushed or hammered into the sludge. To avoid compaction of the layers, a piston is held at a stationary position relative to the sludge. The sample can then be emptied into a clean stainless-steel bucket, or layer by layer in wide necked sample jar. It is not necessary to assemble and disassemble the apparatus with every new sample. This set comes in an aluminium transport case.

Extended set

In addition to the standard set (04.23.SA), an extended set (04.23.SB) is also available for sampling and discharging core samples with a length of 1 metre or 1.5 metres, in bucket or jars and to transport and divide in subsamples with water pressure. This set is suitable for sampling of submerged soils to a depth of 5 metres from very aqueous sediments to unconsolidated sand.

Applications

• Soil profile description and classification
• Environmental soil research
• Undisturbed sampling
• Geohydrological research
• Sediment sampling

Wildco Ekman Grabs

$ 502.00 USD

This is the grab to choose for soft, finely divided littoral bottoms that are free from vegetation, such as sticks and decayed leaves (or with short, erect vegetation only) as well as intermixtures of sand, stones and other coarse debris. The specialized function of this dredge is the taking of quantitative and qualitative samples of macroscopic bottom fauna to determine the productivity of soft bottoms, particularly those composed of finely divided muck, mud, ooze, submerged marl and fine peaty materials. Versatile and durable, it is suited for preliminary as well as more precise observation. It is not recommended for rocky or sandy bottoms or moderate macrophyte growth because small pebbles or macrophyte stems prevent proper jaw closure.

Two thin, hinged overlapping lids on top open during descent to let water pass through. They close during retrieval and are held shut by water pressure to reduce washout. The closing springs easily unhook from their loaded position for safe handling during transportation and storage.

An important and distinguishing feature of the Wildco design is the messenger-operated Twin-pin scoop release mechanism. This release is very reliable, has few working parts and is the best of its type in the field.To operate, attach to a line and pass through the trip mechanism. Set the springs over the knobs and pull the jaws completely apart. Lower the dredge till it rests on the bottom and send a messenger down the line, allowing the springs to close the scoops.
