Sequoia Scientific LISST-ABS

  • This is a low-cost sensor designed specifically for measuring Suspended Sediment Concentration at a point. It represents an advance over turbidity sensors. It is suitable for use in environmental applications, as well as in industry, such as hydropower.
  • The 8MHz acoustic sensor ‘sees’ all size grains, and unlike turbidity, it sees coarse grains very well.
  • The LISST-ABS calibration is far less sensitive to grain size changes than turbidity sensors, changing only ~ ± 30% over 30-400 microns.
  • Operates over a >4-decade working range in concentration.
  • Tolerates fouling.

Sequoia Scientific LISST-Portable XR

The LISST-Portable|XR is the world’s first and only battery powered portable particle size analyzer. It can be used in the field, in the laboratory or on the factory floor.

The LISST-Portable|XR analyzes the sample in a wet state to obtain the particle size distribution and the particle volume concentration. The LISST-Portable|XR uses the same laser light scattering method (laser diffraction) as popular laboratory particle size analyzers.

It has all the features and performance of a laboratory instrument but in a self-contained, portable enclosure that allows you to make measurements where it’s needed, when it’s needed.

Water Samplers

Wildco Non-Metallic Kemmerer, General Purpose

These samplers are designed for general sampling only and are not suitable for trace metal or organic analysis due to the potential for contamination (i.e. mercury and phosphorus) by the materials in the sampler’s construction.

Wildco Non-Metallic Kemmerer, Trace Metals

Designed for trace metal sampling due to silicone seals. Also may be used for organic sampling to concentrations of mg/L.

Wildco Stainless Steel Kemmerer, Extreme Conditions

This is the cost-effective choice for the tough industrial uses. Constructed of 304 and 316 SS and Fluoropolymer (PTFE) except for screws and springs which are 18-8. Often used for sampling industrial solvents, strong acids and strong bases at temperatures up to 450° F. Also good for sampling trace organics. Our Fluoropolymer (PTFE)end seals are non-organic and temperature resistant, making them an ideal and cost-effective choice for chemical testing. 1.2L volume. 

• For industrial solvents, acids and bases
• Use up to 450° F

Bottom Sampling Equipment

Wildco Box Corer

This patented device is designed to take larger samples in harder bottoms more easily and safely than spring-powered grabs. It is especially effective in finely divided muck, clays, mud, ooze, submerged marl, or fine peaty materials. Like a big bruiser, the sole driving force is the box corer’s weight, which can total 49 kg (108 lbs). The body itself weighs about 14 kg (31 lbs) and is augmented by up to 12 extra weights, each weighing 4 kg (9 lbs), securely fastened in two side bins. The heavy duty linkage and scoops dig as deep as the weight will allow. The inside of the box is smooth and free of projections, allowing an acrylic liner to easily slip in and out. Ship wt: 70 lbs

Wildco Large Ekman Grab

This is the grab to choose for soft, finely divided littoral bottoms that are free from vegetation, such as sticks and decayed leaves (or with short, erect vegetation only) as well as intermixtures of sand, stones and other coarse debris. The specialized function of this dredge is the taking of quantitative and qualitative samples of macroscopic bottom fauna to determine the productivity of soft bottoms, particularly those composed of finely divided muck, mud, ooze, submerged marl and fine peaty materials. Versatile and durable, it is suited for preliminary as well as more precise observation. It is not recommended for rocky or sandy bottoms or moderate macrophyte growth because small pebbles or macrophyte stems prevent proper jaw closure.

Wildco Peterson Grab

Since 1930 the Petersen grab has been used in fresh water for collecting macroscopic fauna in sand, gravel, marl, clay or clay combinations. If used in salt water, it must be painted for protection. Since it has been widely used over 6 decades, it is ideal for comparing samples with data collected previously by a Petersen grab. Vent holes permit water to flow through while the grab is being lowered, minimizing diagonal movement as well as reducing the frontal shock wave generated by descent. Jaws close clamshell fashion. We include a safety-pin to prevent the scoops from closing to help prevent injury. The bayonet-style trip mechanism is designed to release only when the sampler is on the bottom and the cable is slack. A deliberately heavy device for biting deep into hard bottoms. Operation requires winch and crane due to the working weight. Ship wt: 135 lbs.

Plankton Nets

Wildco Birge Closing Nets

Ideal for vertical plankton tows when you need to sample a specific stratum in an integrated water column.

After you’ve reached your desired depth and taken your sample, close the net by sending a messenger down the line, ensuring no further water gets through. Raise vertically at an even speed of 0.5 m/s. The truncated design improves filtration efficiency and consists of four parts: a tapered upper cylinder, the closing portion; a conical filtering net; an attached dolphin adapter; and a stainless-steel Wisconsin dolphin bucket whose 10 oz. weight insures the net’s rapid descent. The closing portion consists of top nickel-plated brass spring attached to a bridle, towing eye and release tab. A separate lowering and retrieval line is attached to the middle ring between the two cones.

Wildco Tow Nets

Ideal for horizontal or vertical tows in fresh or salt water. The larger size is good for salt water and large, clear lakes. Attach a 1/8” line to the top and tow slowly, regulating depth by speed. For horizontal sampling, attach our line weight part number 426-E50.Nitex® net with nylon sleeve on stainless steel ring. 3 lines attach ring to heavy nickel plated brass swivel. 125 ml polyethylene bottle and connector with hose. Small tow net is 200 x 750mm (8” x 30”)-2 lbs Large tow net is 300 x 1050mm (12 x 42)- 4lbs.

Wildco Wisconsin Sampler

A popular and versatile net. The anterior reducing cone makes filtration more efficient than a standard conical net. Consists of an anterior reducing cone; a posterior conical filtering net; and Dolphin™ adapter with Wisconsin bucket. A stainless steel net ring holds it open where the reducing cone and filter net meet. Bridle and bucket are stainless steel.
