Alpha Water Sampler, 8.2 L, Vertical, Acrylic, Sampler Only
Product Code: 1180-C45
Please confirm availability before ordering.
The Wildco® 1180-C45 is an 8.2 L Alpha™ Vertical Water Sampler featuring a transparent acrylic 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 allows unrestricted water flow during descent, ensuring representative depth-specific water sampling while making it especially effective for collecting plankton, floating sediments, suspended solids, and other particulate matter. The transparent acrylic body provides immediate visual inspection of the collected sample.
• 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
8.2 Litre Capacity
SBK2 messenger & 62-C15 line (100 ft.) sold separately.
The body is made from transparent acrylic that allows you to view the bottle contents immediately. 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.
