Soggy Bottom Sampler Core Catcher Tube

Soggy Bottom Sampler Core Catcher Tube

The Soggy Bottom Sampler Core Catcher Tube is a reliable and efficient tool for sediment sampling in rivers, lakes, wetlands, and estuaries. Designed with precision and durability, this manually-operated sampler ensures accurate and consistent sediment collection for analysis.

Using the sampler is simple: lower it to the water’s surface as a dual tube or drive it to the desired depth for below-surface sampling. Once the target depth is reached, the internal rods attached to the drive tip are retracted and removed, with extensions added as needed. The internal drive tip is then securely retained in a chamber at the top of the sampler.

With its built-in core catcher, the sampler prevents sediment loss, ensuring uncontaminated, high-quality samples. It can collect continuous or discrete samples from the surface down to 4 feet, providing comprehensive data on sediment composition and characteristics.

The sampler includes everything you need for effective sediment sampling: one 4-foot x 1 1/2" O.D. plastic liner, two 2-foot x 1 1/2" O.D. plastic liners, a top metal catcher, a plastic basket retainer, three 3-foot extensions, a 30 lb. slide hammer, cleaning brushes, and a padded carrying case. Disassembling the sampler and safely capping sample liners for transport to the lab is quick and convenient.

Ideal for research, water quality monitoring, and environmental assessments, the Soggy Bottom Sampler Core Catcher Tube is built to handle tough conditions while delivering reliable results. Elevate your sediment sampling with this high-quality tool—an essential investment for professionals in the field.
