Hydrobios Sediment corer

The Sediment Corer is used for retrieving undisturbed sediment samples. It is easy to handle. During the descent the plastic valve on top of the tube is kept open by the water flowing freely inside the tube. For recovery the corer is lifted from the bottom. The valve closes and the vacum inside keeps the sediment untouched. The sample is removed from the tube on deck for examination.
