Caution! Sounding line will not thread through center tubes of 1200 Kemmerer bottles. If you wish to use with Kemmerers, simply attach 50-L10 Kemmerer adaptor kit to the bottom link and thread through the center shaft of the Kemmerer bottle. Be sure to secure the end of the adaptor kit with the supplied cable clamps!
Warning! Hammering or pounding corers into sediments may damage them. When entering or exiting the bottom, do not tilt. This may cause the head assembly posts and tube to bend. The PVC core tube may break if bent too much.
Head assemblies, core tubes, liner tubes, core catchers and nosepieces may be used interchangeably between: 2” Hand corers (2424-A20 and similar) 2” Ballchek (2416-B25) 2” K-B Corer (2400-B20 and similar) 2” Ogeechee (2427-B20)

Weighs 10 oz., just right for easy sinking, of stainless steel for durability. 200 mL volume. Drains with a pinchcock – no stopper to lose, no trapping of plankton. Best of all, it removes easily without tools by twisting the threaded top attached to the adaptor.
Beta™ Van Dorn-style bottles have rigid, white ASA plastic end seals with silicone gaskets. Amber latex tubing is used to close the bottle because it leaches fewer contaminants than the black latex tubing used on our Alpha™ bottles. It is not as durable, however. The Beta™ sampler is excellent for trace metal sampling, as there […]
Alpha™ Van Dorn-style bottles have flexible, plunger-like blue polyurethane end seals for reliable sealing. Black latex tubing is used to close the bottle because it better resists decay in sunlight and in water than amber tubing. It is the strongest elastic material to our knowledge but may leach a very few heavy metals or other […]
