LaMotte Bottom Sampling Dredge
Product Code: 1097
The LaMotte® 1097 Bottom Sampling Dredge is a durable stainless steel sediment sampler designed for collecting bottom material from soft substrates such as sand, silt, and fine mud. Using a simple trigger mechanism, the dredge remains open while being lowered to the bottom, then closes automatically with a scissor-action when lifted, retrieving a representative sediment sample for physical, chemical, or biological analysis. It is widely used in environmental monitoring, limnology, fisheries, aquaculture, and educational field studies.
- Stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and long service life in freshwater and marine environments.
- Simple trigger mechanism keeps the dredge open while lowering, ensuring proper positioning on the bottom.
- Scissor-action closure securely captures a representative sediment sample during retrieval.
- Approximately 67 cubic inch (1.1 L) capacity provides ample material for multiple laboratory analyses.
- Compact, rugged design requires minimal maintenance and is easy to transport.
- Compatible with the optional LaMotte 1064-G calibrated line for controlled deployment and depth measurements.
