E DNA Assembly

Organisms leave traces of DNA as they move through their environments. The extraction of these DNA traces is known as environmental DNA (eDNA). eDNA provides scientists and researchers a non-invasive and sensitive way to detect and quantify species. However, traditional eDNA sampling consists of manually filtering water, which is labor and cost-intensive for remote locations. Furthermore, commercialized solutions are expensive and require a field operator. This eDNA sampler project aims to provide an affordable, open-sourced, remotely deployable, fully automated, and customizable alternative For more information please go to: https://github.com/OPEnSLab-OSU/OPEnS-Lab-Home/wiki/eDNA-Sampler
