Wildco Alpha Water Samplers Horizontal PVC

Wildco Alpha Series Horizontal Water Sampler with up to 4.2 L Volume

Collect Representative Samples at Specific Depths with Opaque PVC or Transparent Acrylic Options

Designed for you to use in shallow or deep waters, this sampler descends horizontally, parallel to the bottom. Just before closing, you pull it sideways, which ensures you get a truly representative water sample for that specific depth. It is ideal for sampling at the thermocline, at other stratification levels, or just above the bottom sediments. You can choose this versatile bottle in either transparent acrylic or opaque PVC. The PVC is more durable and less costly, while the acrylic allows you to view the sample contents immediately.

This sampler is not suitable for trace metal analysis (e.g., mercury or phosphorus) due to the potential for contamination from the materials in its end seals. For precision chemical analysis, we recommend our Beta Bottle water samplers.

NOTE: Volume may vary slightly. We recommend that you verify the exact volume of your bottle prior to each use.
