Sediment Traps
- Product Type:
- Samplers
- Product Category:
- Sediment Trap
Sediment Traps collect the flux of settling particulate matter into individual sample bottles. Samples are collected in an operator-defined time-series. Mark 78H, Mark 78HW, and Mark 8 Traps perform exceptionally well in radionucleide investigations, paleoproxy and global carbon cycle analysis, pollution testing and environmental studies. Options include a compass/tilt sensor and pressure transducer.
The Mk8 Sediment Trap is approximately half the size of the Mk78H and Mk78HW for easier handling and deployment. An optional Wet Sample Particle Divider (WSD-10) divides wet specimens into 5 to 10 equal parts.
