Remote Biopsy
The PAXARMS BIOPSY DART design is the direct result of over 30 years developing specialty darts for remotely taking blubber and skin samples from marine mammals. Constantly developed to minimise harm whilst yielding a high sample retention rate.
Key Features:
- FLOATATION DARTS in STANDARD and LARGE sizes
- LARGE size chamber for larger cutting heads when extra buoyancy is needed
- PAXARMS CUTTING HEADS with three internal prong sample retention design
- Cutting heads available in a wide range of dimensions (internal sample diameter by sample length in mm)
- Additional weights for sampling animals with thick fur
Dart Types:
TETHERED LINE DARTS:
Can be used with our TETHER REEL BARREL or for distances under 15m wound off the end of the barrel. Suited for those times when retrieval is difficult or you don't wish to disturb the animal retrieving the darts.
POLAR BEAR MARKING DART:
The perfect solution for those collecting multiple biopsy samples whilst identifying those animals already sampled. The weighted darts are available as TETHERED and with FLIGHTS. Darts leave distinctive STAR SHAPED ink marks on biopsy sight.
