The Ekman Grab Set is a professional-grade tool for collecting soft, plant-free sediments from lakes, rivers, ponds, and shallow water bodies. Designed for accurate environmental and hydrogeological sampling, it ensures reliable retrieval of semi-disturbed sediment for analysis, habitat assessment, and field investigations.
Constructed from stainless steel, the grab features spring-loaded overlapping flaps that remain open during lowering and close upon activation, securely trapping sediment inside. It holds up to 3.5 litres and measures 152 × 152 × 152 mm, providing a representative sample while minimizing disturbance. Maximum sampling depth is over 10 m, and a 1.5 m rod is available for shallow, rod-operated use.
