Alpha Water Sampler, 4.2 L, Vertical, Opaque PVC, Sampler Only
Product Code: 1140-D45
Please confirm availability before ordering.
The Wildco® 1140-D45 is a 4.2 L Alpha™ Vertical Water Sampler featuring a rugged opaque PVC bottle. This sampler-only model is intended for users who already own a compatible messenger, calibrated sampling line, and carrying case. Its vertical Van Dorn-style design provides unrestricted water flow during descent, allowing the sampler to collect a representative water sample from a specific depth. The wide-mouth opening also makes it particularly effective for collecting plankton, floating sediments, and suspended solids.
• Blue seals of durable, flexible, high-grade polyurethane resin with attached safety line
• Foolproof 316 SS trip head for durability
• Not suitable for chemical sampling
4.2 Litre Capacity
SBK2 messenger & 62-C15 line (100 ft.) are sold separately.
The PVC body is opaque, but is more durable and less expensive than acrylic. Alpha samplers are not suitable for chemical analysis of contents due to the potential for contamination (i.e. by mercury and phosphorus) by the materials in the sampler's construction. For chemical analysis, inquire about the Beta or suggested Kemmerer water samplers. This sampler requires a messenger and line (not included, except in kits) for operation. A thermometer can be mounted inside acrylic Alpha™ bottles.
