As eDNA technology advances worldwide, we proudly partner with Smith-Root Inc to provide you with market-leading eDNA sampling technology.
Engineered by experts, their sampling systems and filter packs maximise species detection and streamline even large or complex water surveys. They improve field efficiency, speed up sampling, and ensure high-quality data collection.
EnviroDNA is the official Australian distributor of the Smith-Root Inc eDNA sampling system and filter range.
Water Sampling Systems
Generate spatially integrated samples to maximise species detection opportunities. This is advantageous technology if you are sampling across a large geographic scales.
The systems include both handheld and backpack water samplers with extendable sampling pole accessories.
Key features:
- Computer-controlled pump with user-defined parameters for consistent replicates
- Backpack model includes GPS tracking and is great for continuous, mobile eDNA sampling.
- Variety of poles available for difficult to reach sampling locations (telescoping pole) and triplicate sampling (trident pole)
Self Preserving eDNA Filters
The self-preserving filter types are designed for long field surveys. The filter is never handled until safely back in the laboratory giving you increased confidence in your research. No ethanol is required.
These kits generate almost twice the yield of DNA per litre when using self-preserving filter housings compared to the standard methods using ethanol.
Technology supported by rigorous science: published method
Key features:
- Engineered to create higher DNA yield per litre of water
- Minimal risk of contamination
- Contains a preloaded inline filter, tubing extension and forceps (regular filters only)
- Available in regular and self-preserving filter types
