Water Sampling at Defined Depths
The Lamotte 1087 acrylic water sampler collects discrete samples from fresh, brackish or salt water. A weighted messenger slides down the calibrated line to trigger the closing mechanism at the chosen depth. The clear tube holds approximately 1,200 mL for immediate visual inspection. Field technicians and environmental teams use it for routine water-quality profiling.
Line Length and Calibration Limits
The supplied line extends to 20 m and is marked at 1 m intervals, so sampling is restricted to that maximum depth. Accuracy depends on the messenger reaching the sampler without excessive drift or line stretch. The single calibrated line does not support simultaneous multi-depth collection. Users needing deeper profiles or automated logging must use different equipment.
Rugged Construction and Daily Handling
Stainless steel components resist corrosion during repeated immersion in salt water. The acrylic tube measures 15 x 3.5 x 4.5 and allows quick visual checks before dispensing through the open end cap. The weighted messenger and calibrated line are integrated, reducing loose parts in the field. The transparent body simplifies cleaning between sampling runs.

Questions about this item
Which water sampler capacity should I choose for standard depth profiling?
This model holds approximately 1,200 mL in a single clear acrylic tube, giving you enough volume for most field tests without needing multiple casts.
What does the 20 m calibrated line mean when I am on a boat?
The line is marked at 1 m intervals so you can lower the sampler to an exact depth, then send the weighted messenger down to trip the closing mechanism at that level.
How does the messenger release system work with the sampler’s closing mechanism?
You lower the sampler on the 20 m line, then slide the weighted messenger down the line; it strikes the trigger and snaps both end caps shut to capture the sample at your chosen depth.
