Experience the freedom and versatility to collect eDNA samples anytime, anywhere
Designed for efficiency, this small and rugged sampler can accompany you wherever your curiosity takes you.
Collect more field samples in less time.
With a self-priming pump and rechargeable battery, you can collect more field samples without time-consuming  and manual filtration processes.


Features
How It Works
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 (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


Supporting SDG 14
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.
