“The (eDNA) Surface 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
Features
Compact and lightweight to easily store, ship and carry
Versatile for remote locations
In-situ filtration for more reliable data
Efficient and easy-to-use
A weather-proof case with custom foam cutouts to easily store components
Compatible with a rechargeable battery for extended field sampling time
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.
Marine 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.
