About

The KC Denmark Rosette Station 6 Bottles (model 60.050) is designed for mounting six Niskin water samplers on a robust AISI 316 stainless steel frame. The rack allows for automated or manual triggering and includes a motor-driven release system operating at 24 Volt DC. The system can be controlled manually or through a programmable time-lapsed trigger and supports pressure-triggered release. It includes software that displays status information such as sampler position, battery voltage, and motor current. The unit provides space for mounting a CTD rack and can optionally include a reversing thermometer assembly. The rosette is depth-rated for 6000 m when used with battery 100.226, or 4000 m with battery 100.217. Niskin bottles are made of non-metallic PVC tubing with Delrin stopcock and air vent screw, featuring AISI 316 stainless steel clamps and Para/Latex closure bands for seawater resistance.
