Environmental DNA sampler in workshop
An inside look at an MBARI autonomous environmental DNA (eDNA) sampler that is normally in metal housing taking samples in streams to detect aquatic invasive species, pathogens, and parasites. This version weighs about 400 pounds, but future versions will be more portable.
