Product Description
Collecting liquid from a specific depth, rather than just the surface, gives a truer picture of what a tank, pond or reservoir holds. This bomb sampler is lowered to the target depth, opened on command and resealed, capturing a 500 mL sub-surface sample with minimal mixing from other layers.
This listing is for Wheaton catalog number 885200: Bomb Sampler. Built from Type 304 stainless steel, the sampler uses a weighted plunger with an FKM O-ring to seal the bottom of the reservoir chamber. One cable lowers it, and pulling a second cable opens the sampling valve; releasing it reseals the chamber. Cables are not included; use stainless or PTFE-coated stainless cable rated for at least 50 lb. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order alongside the rest of your glassware and closures.
