Water Sampling Bottles
Alpha and Beta Van Dorn Type
Van Dorn sample bottles are well suited for
general purpose sampling at any depth. They are made
in both a horizontal and vertical design with the
horizontal most used for discrete point sampling at
a given depth. The vertical bottle design is
typically used for stratification studies with
multiple or single samplers suspended by cable. Two
types of each are available depending upon the need
for trace metal and organics sampling. The Wildco®
Alpha Van Dorn bottle is used for general physical,
chemical and biological sampling while the Wildco®
Beta Plus can be used for trace metals and organics.
Van Dorn Vertical PVC Water
Bottle - Type Alpha
During descent, the vertical bottles wide open
mouth offers little restriction or distortion to the
smooth flow of water through the bottle. This allows
a true sample of water with no entrapment of water
from other levels. Free-flushing and "in-series"
deployments can be accomplished at any depth without
exposing samples to light with this vertical bottle.
The messenger-activated release mechanism has
integral cable clamps allowing samplers to be easily
attached to any point on a line. Constructed from
opaque PVC, polyethylene, and polyurethane, this
bottle is intended for general physical, chemical,
and biological water analysis (excluding trace
metals and organics). Unit includes: 2.2 liter
vertical water bottle, 20.0 m calibrated
polypropylene line with 1.0 m graduations, line
reel, 250 g solid bronze messenger, and carrying
case. Note: in-series deployments of multiple
bottles on a single line require 333 g split bronze
messengers with lanyards (sold separately).

Van Dorn Vertical Acrylic Water
Bottle - Type Beta Plus
For free-flushing and "in-series" deployments,
this vertical bottle collects water samples at any
depth. The messenger-activated release mechanism has
integral cable clamps allowing samplers to be easily
attached to any point on a line. Constructed of
clear polycarbonate, polyethylene and silicone, this
bottle is EPA approved for "ultra-clean" analysis of
water, including trace metals and organics. Unit
includes: 2.2 liter vertical bottle, 20.0 m
calibrated polypropylene line with 0.5 m
graduations, line reel, 250 g solid bronze
messenger, and carrying case. Note: in-series
deployments of multiple bottles on a single line
require 333 g split bronze messengers with lanyards
(sold separately).

Van Dorn Horizontal Water
Bottle - Type Alpha
Collect water samples at any depth without
exposing them to light during retrieval. Horizontal
bottles are specifically designed for thin-layer
stratification and near bottom studies.
Messenger-activated release mechanism closes a
single sampler on the end of a line. Constructed
from clear acrylic or opaque PVC, polyethylene, and
silicone, this bottle is intended for general
physical, chemical, and biological water analysis
(excluding trace metals and organics). Unit
includes: 2.2 liter horizontal water bottle, 20.0 m
calibrated polypropylene line with
1.0 m graduations, line reel, and 250 g solid
bronze messenger and plastic carrying case.
