Hydro-Bios

HYDRO-BIOS develops, manufactures, and distributes smart sampling equipment for oceanographic and limnic environments. Its core business covers instruments for collecting water, plankton, and sediments, a broad portfolio rather than a single product line. The range takes in plankton sampling equipment, water samplers, and sediment sampling devices, developed and built with an emphasis on precision and reliability. By its own account the company ranks among the world's leading manufacturers of smart sampling equipment, and it builds its products for oceanography and limnology, a focus centred on scientific fieldwork in marine and freshwater environments. Plankton nets, water samplers, and sediment devices between them cover the collection of organisms, of water itself, and of bottom sediments. A distinctive part of the business comes from its specialization in plankton nets. Those nets run from small and simple versions up to the Multi Plankton Sampler MultiNet, so a single supplier can cover both a basic net and a multi-sample instrument. Its water samplers span Niskin type bottles and Ruttner water samplers through to advanced Carousel/Rosette systems in different sizes, with optional CTD probes and other sensors. For sediment work the company supplies bottom samplers together with single or multiple sediment traps. Its history includes long experience in mechanical samplers for limnology and oceanography, and the company built up an electronics department of its own, using computers for circuit and board design alongside microprocessor technology, CAD, 3D CAD, and CAM in product development and manufacturing. HYDRO-BIOS supports customers with data sheets, videos, FAQs, and direct contact options, and it maintains a wide network of partners across Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa, and Australia. Worldwide distribution and a global customer base underpin the business, which supplies instruments used in oceanography, hydrobiology, limnology, and related fields. Its products suit scientific and environmental sampling applications, among them water pollution investigation, public health, environmental protection, and ecology.
