Wildco 150-A95 Hester-Dendy Large Square EPA Substrate Sampler – Pack of 10
Product Code: 150-A95
The Wildco 150-A95 Hester-Dendy Large Square EPA Substrate Sampler is a pack of 10 artificial substrate samplers designed for aquatic macroinvertebrate sampling, biological monitoring and environmental assessment. Hester-Dendy samplers provide a standardized artificial surface that aquatic organisms can colonize during deployment, allowing researchers to collect and evaluate macroinvertebrate communities. Wildco recommends positioning artificial substrates at a consistent depth and leaving them in place for a specified period; approximately six weeks is considered optimal for many waters.
The 150-A95 is the 10-pack version of the Wildco 150-A90 Large Square Hester-Dendy sampler. It is particularly useful for monitoring programs requiring multiple standardized sampling units at several sites or replicate samplers at the same site.
Hester-Dendy samplers can be suspended in the water column or secured in suitable locations in streams and other water bodies. Consistent placement and deployment procedures are important when comparing macroinvertebrate communities between sampling locations or monitoring changes over time.
