This design incorporates improvements by Dr. R. O. Brinkhurst, Institute of Ocean Sciences, specifically for obtaining quantitative samples of fast-moving Tubificidae. Because the valve is locked open during descent, there is minimal frontal wave and minimal warning to fauna at the water/bottom interface. It is messenger-operated and is under your full control: you can keep the K-B® open until you are sure you have a sample. The heavy K-B® affords better penetration.

316 stainless steel head assembly

20" long 316 SS or clear PVC core tube

messenger, 100’ cable, carry case
