VSI Soil Core Storage Containers. We offer storage and transport solutions for undisturbed soil samples, exactly fitting the diameter of your soil cores and variable in length. The storage containers prevent disturbance of soil cores during transport and allow for safe long-term storage of dried cores for research and teaching purposes.
The VSI Soil Core Storage Containers are available in several colours and consist of two half shells made from styrodur and a bung (3-4 cm thick) for the open side (allowing to adjust for soil core length, especially important during transport). Styrodur is easier to clean and more robust than Styropor half shells. Containers need to be closed tightly with tape, straps or rubber bands after sample insertion. Standard size of container sets (i.e. 2 shells, assembled, + 1 bung) is approx. 60 cm (length) x 10.5 cm (height) x 10.5 cm (width), holding 7.2 cm diameter soil cores of a maximum length of 56 cm. Other dimensions are available on request. Small batch series starting from 100 sets can be purchased and will be produced on demand according to the required soil core diameter and length. For larger batches (>500 half shells) we can ofter to produce Sytroform shells with external partners.
