Suction Lysimeter for Root Level Soil Monitoring

The HI83900 Suction Lysimeter is used to extract soil solutions for chemical analysis of nutrients important to plant growth.

The HI83900 allows operators to easily monitor the level of fertilizer nutrients such as nitrogen (N),phosphorous (P) and potassium (K). 

• Three tube lengths available for extraction at any depth
• Sintered ceramic cap for uncompromised samples
• Sample collection at root level for precise results.

Three Tube Lengths

HI83900 is offered in three different lengths: 30 cm, 60 cm, or 90 cm. No matter what the depth of the root level, users can easily extract a soil solution that represents the concentration of nutrients available for plant uptake.

Syringe and Finger Clamp

A 30 mL syringe and finger clamp are included to assist the user in quickly and efficiently creating a vacuum inside the sampler tube.

Sintered Ceramic Cap

The ceramic tip of the lysimeter can be used in all types of soil. It is made of a sinterized material that does not react with the nutrients in the soil. Therefore, the soil solution collected is not affected by the chemical composition of the ceramic cap resulting in precise and reliable tests.

Easy to Clean

The lysimeter should be sterile and free of air bubbles before placing it into the root zone for extraction. A cleaning solution is supplied with the HI83900 to sufficiently activate the tube and porous ceramic tip.
