Sediment Traps
Time-series sediment traps that collect settling particles into sealed sample bottles, rated to 7,000 m (10,000 m model available).
Description
Time-series sediment traps were McLane's original product line when the company was founded in 1983. They collect vertically settling particles into individual sample bottles that are sealed when not collecting, for biogeochemical studies (radionucleide, paleoproxy, carbon cycle), environmental and pollution monitoring and mining-related studies.
Key features
- Parflux 78H: 13 or 21 bottles of 250 ml or 500 ml; Parflux 8-13 is half the size
- Titanium frame and electronics housing; polycarbonate hexagonal baffle
- Signal Activated Bottom Lander (SABL) trap with remotely initiated sampling and pop-up recovery buoy
- Options: wet sample divider, adaptive firmware, pressure and tilt sensors, Ethernet
Applications
- Biogeochemical studies: radionuclide, paleoproxy and carbon cycle research
- Environmental and pollution monitoring
- Deep-sea mining-related studies
