Surber Samplers are a classic quantitative samplers used by the EPA, USGS, and listed in "Standard Methods".  Designed for shallow flowing rivers of moderate current with fine, loose sediments, its main advantages are portability and ease of use.  Two pivoting solid stainless-steel frames and lockable brace latches hold the frames at right angles to each other. Net is of Nitex®  cloth with taffeta wings for durability.

Our design gives you the same classic design that protocols require, but with stainless frames and a slip througn frame mount to give longer life to the netting.  Also available with removable two piece sample bucket with matching filter mesh.

• 9” diameter where net collar meets net filter
• 24” long from collar to filter, folds flat for storage
• Open base encloses area of 12 x 12”
• Stainless steel frame and hardware
• Slip througn frame design creates fewer tears over net life

Note:  Not all Surbers are made the same.  Our nets use real 316 Stainless Steel frames for long life.  Don't settle for lesser quality materials at a higher price!

Note:  Nitex® mesh is used where available and appropriate.  We reserve the right to use other branded mesh where aperture size or availability requires.  Nitex® is a brand name of heat set mesh with tight tolerances and is specifically named in protocols because it was the first such product.  If any modern substitution is used, it will be of matching quality and specifications.  Aperture sizes of any brand used, including Nitex®, are accurate to within a 10% size variation.
