Aquatic BioTechnology S.L. products
Plankton Nets
Aquatic - Bottle Net
Allows the collection of microplankton samples at any depth, even deeper than 4000m.
Water Sampling
Niskin - Bottle
Sampling is designed for vertical sampling and facilitates a free flow of water through the bottle as it is towed. Manufactured in different sizes, its inside is free of metallic objects in order to maintain the conditions of the sample, which can be retrieved via the tap located at the bottom of the bottle.
Aquatic - Ruttner Bottle
Robust and accurate, ideal for sampling shallow water.
Aquatic - Van Dorn Bottle
Ideal for sampling in waters that are stratified or with prevailing currents.
Aquatic - Messenger
Easy opening and closing, using a thread system, for placement on the main line.
Sediment Sampling
Aquatic - Van Veen Grab
The Van Veen grab SG is designed for collecting sediment samples in fresh and marine water, from soft or medium-hard bottoms like sand, gravel, consolidated marl or clay. It consists of two buckets connected by a hinge. During the descent, the two buckets remain apart. When it hits the bottom, the locking mechanism releases, and when the main line is pulled to retrieve the grab, the buckets close allowing the collection of the sample.
Plankton Examination
Aquatic - Utermohl Pack Tool
The Utermöhl Pack is a complete tool for quantitatively analysing phytoplankton using the Utermöhl method. It allows you to sediment a sample of phytoplankton, and later analyse this in an inverted microscope.
Aquatic - Tubular Chamber
The Tubular Chamber is used for analysing plankton samples with an inverted microscope. The Tubular Chamber allows you to sediment the plankton prior to analysis, preventing any alteration of the sample.
Aquatic Zooplankton - Bogorov Counting Chambers
The zooplankton counting chambers are designed to facilitate the counting of large quantities of zooplankton. Made of methacrylate, they have various precision-machined grooves with polished bases that provide the best possible transparency, and facilitate zooplankton counting. The small size of all our chambers makes them suitable for use with a stereoscopic microscope.
