Spectrum Bottle

Oceomic, Marine Bio and Technology, S.L., has created a next-generation oceanographic bottle based on particulate matter dynamics, the Spectrum Bottle. Any given water parcel presents a continuum particle size spectrum ranging from microns to tens of centimeters (marine snow). After collection, particles sink down to the bottom of the bottle, where they are washed out during the collection of subsamples for gases analysis. The Spectrum Bottle has been designed to obtain more precise estimate of both dissolved and particulate matter.
