COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS
FLEXIBLE AND SOLUTIONS-BASED
Tackling global environmental threats like plastic pollution and biodiversity loss requires multi-stakeholder collaborations.
Together with our partners, we generate the data needed to identify, advance and evaluate plastic pollution and biodiversity loss solutions from a diverse range of aquatic environments and water systems.
When it comes to partnerships, Ocean Diagnostics truly believes that one size does not fit all. This is why we make great efforts to understand the unique needs of our partners and establish relationships that ensure success. As a result, every relationship we enter is distinct.
HOW DO WE WORK?
Our flexible model allows partners to choose from a variety of options. Every collaborative partnership is customized to best suit your project needs. Whether you are a government, municipality, company, academic institution, environmental agency, foundation, NGO, or individual, we will help you to achieve your goals.
INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS
We provide our partners the ability to purchase or access our technologies that will enhance their microplastic or eDNA programs. In some cases, our “off the shelf” solutions can be customized to fit the needs of a specific partner.
MICROPLASTIC LABORATORY ANALYSIS
We provide quantitative and qualitative laboratory analysis for collected plastic and microplastics samples.
COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIPS
We provide support across the entire scope of partner programs, including:
- expert advice on program design, understanding the regulatory environment or obtaining guidance around robust scientific approaches
- project management, environmental sampling and logistics
- technology access (using Ocean Diagnostics’ technology in your program)
- sample analysis via our analytical laboratory
- data interpretation, report writing, recommendations
