Click to enlargeThese instuments are considered by the international scientific community as the most versatile and crucial tools for the collection of setting particles in a variety of marine and limnetic environement.
The collected samples allow, through various laboratory analyses, the determination of downward mass fluxes of particles and associated elementsas for exemple organic and inorganic compounds (e.g.organic C, carbonates), or trace elements and polluants (e.g. selected trace metals, radionuclides).
With a more than 45 years experience in the design and construction of automated sediment traps, TECHNICAP is now offering a complete, state-of-the art product range with the latest models of the PPS (Pièges à Particules Séquentiels) time-series sediment trap family.
