The compact self-priming diaphragm vacuum pump efficiently draws surface water through a filter to capture eDNA samples from freshwater and marine environments. Designed for versatility and functionality, the sampler is powered by a rechargeable, off-the-shelf Makita power tool battery so you can collect more field samples in less time.

What Our Customers Say
“The Sampler is exactly what I was looking for: Compact, reliable and easy to use from a boat. One of my favourite parts about this system is that it’s compatible with a wide range of filter types, making it easy to tailor to different project needs. It’s streamlined the sampling process in a way I couldn’t have done otherwise."
Amy Migneault
PhD Researcher | University of Victoria
“I really like the simplicity and compact nature of the Sampler. You can get out into the middle of a wetland, stick your filter over the side, hit the button, and sit there writing in your field notebook.”
John Hagan

“There’s no way we could have done this at this scale using traditional methods. It's very simple to use, light—which is especially key for remote areas—and one button.”
Pollution, invasive species, climate change and other human activities threaten biodiversity and life below water (SDG 14). Environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is a simple, cost-effective and non-destructive method to measure biodiversity loss.
With eDNA surface sampling technology, researchers and community scientists alike can contribute the data needed to inform and monitor solutions.
