Rhizon samplers can extract small volumes of pore water from soil and sediments, in an easy, non-destructive, repeatable way. They can be used for sampling water from unsaturated soils as well as from saturated zones and the extract can be used for the measurement of dissolved compounds such as nutrients, dissolved organic carbon or pollutants.Most popular related searches

RRP-MicroRhizon samplers are mainly used in RhizonBoxes and agar tests. They consist of two parts: a porous part (i.e. microfiltration membrane) of 8 mm with an outer diameter of 1 mm, and PEEK tubing (0.6*0.4 mm; 12 cm long) with a connector fit to a syringe. The mean pore size of the porous part is 0.15 µm, hence no filtering of samples before analysing is required. The yield of MicroRhizons is up to 2 ml (depending on pore water availability). As the tubing of MicroRhizons consists of PEEK and a special glue, it is possible to steam-sterilise them. All Rhizon samplers are sold in sets of 10. See Table 1 on our Website for details.
