Sludge Sampler Rentals
We carry multiple options for sludge and sediment sampling including a multistage sampler from AMS which allows you to take samples through up to 12 feet of water. We also have hand corers from Wildco available.
If you are looking to sample the bottom through deep water we also carry various types of bottom samplers and dredges. Alternatively, the Wildco hand corer can also be attached to a line instead of using the handle.
