Box Corer 600 cm²
Application:
The box corer's series is a marine geological sampling tool for soft sediment in lakes or oceans. It is deployed from a research vessel with a deep-sea wire and suitable for any water depth. It is designed for a minimum of disturbance of the sediment surface by bow wave effects which is important for quantitative investigations of the benthos micro- to macro fauna, geochemical processes, sampling of bottom water or sedimentology. The main racks for 600 cm² and 1000 cm² box corers are identical; the only difference is the size of the corer tube as well as the inner shovel.
Easy handling (Image 3):
When the rack is lifted by a winch the integrated handles allow an easy and swift guidance of the box corer.
