The Avalanche® and Glacier® Samplers combine the small size, light weight, and mobility of a portable with an exclusive new active temperature control system. The revolutionary design gives you the best of all worlds: easy transport, quick setup, and accurate sample preservation – without reliance on ice or utility power! An optional Mobility Kit with aluminum frame and pneumatic tires lets you wheel these unique samplers even over rough terrain to remote sampling sites.
Advanced sampling and data logging with transportable, dual-power cooling
It’s a brand new kind of sampler!
Avalanche® Multi-bottle, Multi-function Sampler
Advanced sampling and data logging with transportable, dual-power cooling
|
The Avalanche® Sampler is based on the industry-leading 6712 controller. Avalanche provides the advanced control, data logging, and communication features of the 6712, combined with on-the-go cooling from either AC power or a 12-volt deep cycle battery. Bottle configurations include 5 gallon and 2.5 gallon composite as well as 4 x 1 gallon and 14 x 950 ml sequential.
