Sediment Sampling
User-Friendly Systems for Sediment Recovery and Environmental Research
Reliable Instruments for Accurate Sediment Sampling
Understanding the composition and structure of sediments is essential for studying aquatic ecosystems, reconstructing environmental changes, and assessing human impacts on lakes and reservoirs.
For more than three decades, UWITEC has been a trusted partner for scientists and environmental professionals worldwide – providing high-quality sediment sampling systems designed for precision, reliability, and long-term durability in the field.
Comprehensive Sediment Sampling Systems
UWITEC offers a complete range of instruments for the collection of sediment cores from both surface layers and deeper strata. We also provide solutions for water sampling.
Our systems are engineered for a wide variety of field conditions – from shallow alpine lakes to deep-water environments – and consistently ensure high sample integrity and quality.
Core Sampling Systems
Gravity Corer – Simple and efficient tools for collecting undisturbed surface sediment cores.
Hammer Corer – Robust systems for compacted or deeper sediment layers, allowing controlled penetration into the material.
Piston Corer – Ideal for long, continuous sediment cores from soft as well as denser, cohesive sediments.
Modular Working Platforms
Our floating platforms provide a stable foundation on open water for both deep and shallow sampling operations. They enable safe and efficient work even under challenging weather conditions.
The modular design allows flexible adaptation to different water depths and sampling methods, serving as a reliable base for scientific fieldwork.
Accessories and Custom Solutions
Enhance your sampling setup with core liners, core catchers, sediment extruders, transport containers, and additional accessories and adaptations – all designed to maintain sample quality and simplify field operations.
UWITEC also develops custom-made solutions, tailored to specific research goals and environmental requirements.
