Combined Plate Chamber (Utermöhl-Chamber) Hydro-Bios

$ 1,200.00 USD

⚠️ Do NOT use alcohol for cleaning acrylic parts.

The Combined Plate Chamber is a standard manufacture fitting virtually any type of inverted microscope.

As described in UNESCO's Phytoplankton Manual (published 1978) the Combined Plate Chamber allows you to look at sedimented plankton samples from a very short distance. How? Put the sample into a cylinder on top of the rectangular plexiglass plate with a thin base plate, let the fixed plankton concentrate and after sedimentation simply push the cylinder with excess liquid aside. The handling support underneath the plate will collect the extra water from the cylinder. You can now take the plate and examine the sample under an inverted microscope. Three calibrated cylinder sizes are provided with each set allowing to analyze different sample volumes.

The basic kit includes a set of cylinders 10 / 50 / 100 ml. Complete with cover plates, also base plates and handling support. The complete kit includes in addition a cylinder of 25 ml, and additional cover and base plates. Items can be purchased separately too.

The Base Plate Set, includes the Base Plate, the Threaded Ring and the Ring Detacher.

Hydro-Bios Bottom Samplers acc. to Ekman-Birge

$ 2,205.00 USD

The Bottom Sampler acc. to Ekman-Birge is a quantitative sampler with precise sampling area to achieve nearly undisturbed samples in soft grounds. It consists of a sturdy-walled metal cabinet equipped with two spring-loaded jaws which are released by a messenger. Two light plates cover the top opening of the sampler to prevent the sample from being washed out during ascent.

Hydro-Bios Bottom Samplers acc. to Van Veen

$ 2,015.00 USD

Dive Into The Depths With Van Veen Bottom Samplers

The Van Veen clamshell-shaped bottom samplers collect low-disturbance sediment samples from soft to medium grounds, ensuring reliable results for research and environmental monitoring.

The Bottom Samplers acc. to Van Veen are designed to obtain qualitative sediment samples with minimal disturbance from any desired depth. Their clamshell jaws remain open during descent and automatically close when the sampler touches the seabed and is pulled up, securing the sample and preventing wash-out. Heavy versions include additional lids or inspection windows, covered with stainless steel gauze and rubber flaps, that allow visual inspection before retrieval. Models range from light 5.5 kg samplers to heavy 60 kg ISO-compliant designs, providing versatile solutions for hydrographic surveys, aquatic research, and environmental monitoring in compliance with EN ISO 16665 standards.

Depth or Time Integrated Water Sampling Made Easy.

Integrating Water Sampler IWS III 2.5 l - For 100 m Sampling Depth.

The Integrating Water Sampler IWS III is a light and handy instrument for the acquisition of summing (integrated) water samples according to the EU-WFD (European Water Framework Directive). The integrated sample is automatically achieved in one single draft. There is no need for repeated operations of standard water samplers, followed by mixing procedures.

The sampling technique is very simple. An electric motor actuates a piston inside a transparent tube. A microprocessor controls the sampling procedure according to the pre-selected depth, time or spot scenario. A built-in high precision pressure sensor cares for accurate depth measurements. Power supply of the sampler is made by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, using the safest chemistry currently available.

Key Features

• Depth controlled integrated sampling with programmable depth interval.
• External battery pack with rechargeable Li-Ion batteries.
• Spot sampling – take a complete sample at a single depth.
• Time integrated sampling.
• Quick-start key – repeat the last sampling scenario without re-programming.
• Extended operation protocol – fully integrated in OceanLab3 software.
• Bluetooth connection to the hand unit or PC.
• Long-distance telemetry via electromechanical cables.
• Successfully UN 38.3 tested.

ICES Incubator Hydro-Bios

$ 5,035.00 USD

ICES Incubator: The Global Standard for Measuring Life in the Ocean

A comprehensive, standardized system for the accurate measurement of phytoplankton primary production using the 14C method, essential for assessing pelagic marine ecosystems.

ICES standard for phytoplankton primary production measurements.

One of the most important marine processes is the formation of organic material resulting from the interaction of carbon dioxide, water and sunlight, a process known as photosynthesis. The ability to measure this process is of great importance when assessing marine pelagic systems. In practice the best way to measure photosynthesis is to look at the absorption of carbon dioxide. The high sensitivity of carbon dioxide absorption measurements allows to use this method under all circumstances. Neither low or very high algal concentrations nor low light conditions and low temperatures are restrictions for this method.

Based on the 14C method, using the absorption of the radio-active 14C isotope of carbon (Steemann-Nielsen, 1952), the ICES Incubator is the ICES standard for phytoplankton primary production measurements.The incubator shown here has been mainly developed for monitoring purposes. It should be used preferably for water samples taken from a mixed water layer with a fixed temperature. Measurements of the amount of phytoplankton (based on chlorophyll-a concentration measurements) should be carried out for interpretation purposes.

The ICES Incubator consists of an illuminated transparent plexiglass tank incorporating a turning wheel on which 12 experimental bottles can be clamped. The tank is filled with water which is set in motion by an adjustable circulating pump. Thus the turning wheel is set in rotation at speeds up to 10 rpm with the experimental bottles acting as paddles. Tank connections for a second water circulation allow for temperature adjustments of the water by using external tempering equipment.

The 12 experimental bottles of 50 ml capacity each have different optical coatings, so that each bottle has individual transmission rates and thus generating a number of 12 different irradiance (or light intensity) levels. The illumination unit is equipped with 10 fluorescent tubes with a wave spectrum according to ICES specifications, each can be switched individually. For higher irradiance levels a second illumination unit can be mounted onto the ground plate of the ICES Incubator.
