80.775 - Box Corer 7500 cm² with a penetration of 75 cm

Application:
The KC Denmark box corer series is a marine geological sampling tool designed for collecting soft sediment samples from lakes or oceans. It is deployed from a research vessel using a deep-sea wire and is suitable for use at any water depth. The design minimizes disturbance of the sediment surface caused by bow-wave effects, which is essential for quantitative investigations of benthic micro- to macrofauna, geochemical processes, bottom water sampling, and sedimentological studies.

The box corer is also available with a penetration depth of 40 cm (80.740) or 50 cm (80.750).
