Sediment Trap - Details
The Sediment Trap is used to investigate the vertical flux of particles in a water column (as a function of place and time). It is suitable in oceans and inland waters.The material collected by the Sediment Trap into sample bottles allows qualitative and quantitative analysis regarding it biological, chemical or mineralogical composition.
The traps are optionally equipped with multiple or single sample bottle turntables. A special design ensures that the sample bottles which are not in the process of collecting material are sealed against the environment.
