Equipped with a 500 µm Nitex® collection net that meets many U.S. EPA benthic sampling protocols, the sampler encloses a known sampling area, allowing researchers to calculate organism density and abundance accurately. Constructed from 304 stainless steel, the Hess sampler is widely used in biomonitoring, water quality assessments, and aquatic ecology studies. and bucket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDolphin\u003ca data-encoded-tag-name=\"meta\" data-encoded-tag-value=\"\" data-encoded-attr-charset=\"dXRmLTg=\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e™ bucket adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDolphin™ bucket (200mL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront screen and Hess net\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrum and handles: 304 stainless steel, 330 mm diameter x 400 mm height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFasteners: 18\/8 stainless.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom open area: 0.086 m2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement nets available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantitative sampling of benthic macroinvertebrates using a known sampling area (0.086 m²).\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500 µm Nitex® net captures most aquatic insect larvae while allowing fine sediment to pass through, making it suitable for many regulatory monitoring programs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability in freshwater environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen cylindrical design is pushed and rotated into the streambed to isolate the sampling area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReversible handles provide leverage for embedding the sampler into gravel and cobble substrates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a Dolphin™ adapter and collection bucket for efficient recovery and transfer of samples.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eAdvantages:\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared with Surber samplers, the Hess Stream Bottom Sampler offers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter performance on gravel and cobble streambeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCylindrical enclosure that minimizes loss of organisms during substrate disturbance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreater stability in flowing water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantitative sampling with a fixed sampling area for repeatable scientific studies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRugged stainless steel construction suitable for years of field use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wildco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45041202692227,"sku":"16-C52","price":811.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2593\/8322\/products\/hess-sampler-nitex-243m.jpg?v=1541101000","url":"https:\/\/dynamicaquasupply.com\/en-us\/products\/wildco-16-c52-hess-stream-bottom-sampler-500um","provider":"Dynamic  Aqua-Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
