This side-filling sampler collects uncompressed
samples from wetlands and estuaries. The
chambered-type corer collects samples which are not
compressed or shortened during recovery, unlike
samples taken with end-filling core samplers. Simply
deploy the corer (in the closed position) to the
desired depth. The corer is rotated clockwise 180°
so that the sharpened edge of the chamber cuts a
sediment core which is contained by the cover plate.
During retrieval, the cover plate's counterclockwise
rotation extrudes the undisturbed sample. Ideal for
use in woody peat, sand, silt, and clay. Corer
measures 5 cm in diameter and 50 cm in length with a
sample volume of 10 ml/cm. The optional bronze slide
hammer assembly helps drive and retrieve the corer
in compact deposits. The lightweight, buoyant
aluminum holobar extension rods allow one-man
operation of the sampler from a boat. Additional
rods (4.0 cm diameter) are available in two lengths.
1.2 m and 2.4 m. Corer includes stainless steel
corer head, two 1.2 m aluminum holobar extension
rods, turning handle and carrying case.
