The LISST-Deep instrument is a 4,000 m rated version of Sequoia’s LISST-200X workhorse.
The LISST-Deep generally has the same capabilities as the LISST-200X but extends the operating depth range to 4,000 m.

FAQ
Can I rent the LISST-Deep?
Yes. Sequoia has a rental unit available. The minimum rental period is one (1) month and the first month’s rent must be prepaid in full before the instrument is delivered. Subsequent months are invoiced at net 30 days payment terms. User must pay for the return shipping to Sequoia, and insure the instrument for the full price for the duration of the rental period as well as the return shipping.
If you decide to purchase a new instrument within 90 days after the beginning of the rental period, you can apply 85% of what you already paid in rental fees towards the cost of the new instrument.
Call for a draft rental agreement.
How does the LISST-Deep differ from the LISST-200X?
Apart from the obvious differences in the mechanical design, the LISST-Deep differs from the LISST-200X mainly with respect to available accessories. For the LISST-Deep, only a frame and an optional external battery housing are available.
Is there a BioBlock option for the LISST-Deep?
No. Sequoia does not offer a BioBlock option for the LISST-Deep.
