Bottom Sampling Dredges

Bottom sampling dredges, commonly referred to as Van Veen grabs, and the Ekman dredge (or Ekman grab) are essential for collecting bottom sediment samples in aquatic environments. Our dredges are designed for precision and efficiency, making them ideal for environmental studies and water quality assessments. With durable construction and thoughtful engineering, they’re built to perform across diverse bodies of water, from freshwater lakes and rivers to coastal waters.

Bottom sampling dredges are ideal for collecting soft, muddy, sandy, and silty sediment samples with minimal disturbance to the sediment layers. In contrast, the Ekman dredge is better for collecting firmer, denser, and more compact sediment samples, resulting in less disruption and preserving sample integrity.

Whether you're conducting routine sediment analysis or working on a specialized project, our dredges provide the reliability and accuracy required for successful results.
