About

The KC Denmark Rack for mounting of 2 Niskin Bottles + CTD (model 60.080) is designed for vertical water sampling applications. It holds two Niskin bottles of the 61.xxx series, each with a capacity from 1.7 to 12 liters, and includes a support for a CTD sensor (the CTD does not release the bottles). The system enables simultaneous release of both bottles when triggered by a 2 kg drop messenger (model 60.005). Built entirely from AISI 316 stainless steel, the rack offers excellent corrosion resistance for marine operations. The compact and lightweight design ensures stable deployment and easy integration into oceanographic sampling setups.
