Soggy Bottom Sampling System Complete

Stops caving sediment!

Use this manually-driven sampler for discrete interval sediment sampling in rivers, lakes, wetlands, and estuaries.

To obtain a sample, the assembled sampler is lowered to the surface or driven down to the depth where sampling is to begin. Upon reaching the sampling depth, the Internal Rods attached to the Internal Drive Tip are retracted. When removing the Internal Rods, the Internal Drive Tip is released and retained in a chamber at the top of the sampler. Next, the Heavy-Duty Slide Hammer with the 1-1/8" Hammer Adapter is attached, and the sampler is driven to collect the sample. Once the sample has been collected, the rods and sampler are pulled out of the borehole.

If sampling in hard or tight sediments, the user may reverse hammer with the Heavy-Duty Slide Hammer or use the optional Removal Jack and Chain Pull Cap. After removal, the sampler disassembles to allow access to the Plastic Liners which can then be capped for transport to the lab.

Features Include:

• Two (2) O-rings are used on the internal drive tip to minimize the chance of cross-contamination
• Core Catcher helps prevent the loss of the sediment sample
• The sampler can take continuous or discrete samples from the sediment surface to 4' in depth
