Multiple Corer

FromOcean Scientific International Ltd (OSIL)

The OSIL range of Multiple Corers combine the flexibility of four models with a suite of features for undisturbed sediment sampling. The Corers can collect multiple high-quality undisturbed sediment samples which include the sediment /water interface and overlying supernatant water. Using a unique hydrostatic damping system the penetration rate is slowed to approximately 1cm/s, eliminating the bow wave typically seen with other corers. Easy to operate, and providing a simple and reliable way of collecting the most accurate sample possible, these corers benefit from detachable core holders (enabling the core tubes or, the whole core tube assembly, to be removed from the main body of the corer). The core tubes are sealed top and bottom, allowing rapid retrieval of the corer without jeopardizing the integrity of the samples. The rugged frame of the corer is made of 316 stainless steel and the core tubing itself can be manufactured from acrylic, poly carbonate or stainless steel.
