SBE 32 Carousel Water Sampler - An innovative design free of the reliability problems
associated with motor-driven types. The Carousel has no moving-shaft seals that can bind up at low
temperatures or under pressure because each bottle position has its own magnetically-activated
lanyard release latch. Only the magnetic field - not a moving part - links the Carousel's lanyard
release mechanism with the pylon control electronics.
Sea-Bird's Carousel has been extensively deployed throughout the world's oceans, where it has built a reputation for reliability and ease of use. The Carousel has rapidly become the standard for oceanographic water sampling.
