Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an ideal way of researching aquatic environments and determining what species are present in an area the biodiversity of an area, and if any invasive or endangered species are present. Traditional sampling of eDNA consists of manually filtering water, which is labor and cost-intensive for remote locations. Furthermore, commercialized solutions are either expensive or require a field operator to function. We have built a battery-powered eDNA sampler capable of autonomous multi-sampling for a greatly reduced price compared to existing technologies.
