eDNA Rapid Sampler DOT - Darmouth Ocean Technologies - Canada: Autonomous, Fast eDNA Multi-sampling for the Detection of Biological Genomic Signatures in Water.
Biodiversity monitoring:
- Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), Marine Mammal Detection (MMD), Aquaculture, Invasive species
Monitoring the environment for specific organisms of interest:
- Harmful algae (ie. Alexandrium sp.)
- Parasites or pathogens
- Indicator species
- Biodiversity surveys
DNA extracted from the sampler filters can be further processed with methods such as qPCR and metabarcoding
