Recovering small volume pressure retaining samples from the deep-sea in inert bottles. Now bacterial respiration and production - not affected by decompression – can be measured.

 

Specification

·    Small inert bottles: titanium

·    Several volumes: 50 and 200 ml

·    Possibility of on-board tracer addition

·    Water depth down to 6.000 m

·    6 or 12 bottles per depth
