Description
Waterra eDNA Sampling Pump
The waterra eDNA Sampling Pump is a light portable, battery operated pump (battery not included) used to collect eDNA samples in the field. This low lift pump (max 1 m: 3 feet) pulls water from the water body, through the Waterra eDNA filter, trapping the eDNA in the filter. This captured eDNA can be stabilized and recovered using the protocol as described: Sample Processing in the Field.
Waterra eDNA filters have a large surface area which permits a large amounts of water to pass through the filter before it clogs. This is ideal when target eDNA is expected to be low.
Sample Collection Techniques:
The suggested process is to connect waterra Nano tubing to a waterra eDNA sampling pump (or a Waterra peristaltic UP Pump). Then plug the Nano tubing into the outlet end of the filter. Suction draws water in through the filter trapping eDNA in the filter itself. This eDNA is recoverable as per our sample processing described below.
Sample Processing in the Field:
Waterra has a recommended protocol for sample processing in the field which recovers and preserves the eDNA for processing in a laboratory. This protocol is outlined here or click the learn more button below.
