Products

Portable high-volume field sampling kit

A shipped sampling kit designed to collect large-volume water samples with built-in preservation for nucleic acids and return logistics for laboratory processing.

Automated autosampling and preservation system

An in-situ autosampler configured to collect and preserve genetic samples on a programmable schedule, intended for autonomous, near real-time monitoring and early detection.


Services

Molecular detection and taxonomic identification of aquatic species from environmental samples using qPCR, metabarcoding, and sequencing.

Bioinformatics analysis of sequencing and qPCR data to estimate relative abundance, activity/stress markers, and population trends over time.

Microbial community profiling and fingerprinting to identify pollution sources, assess biosecurity threats, and detect potential toxin producers.

Integrated sampling and analytics to assess ecosystem condition, detect harmful algal blooms, and provide severity forecasting relevant to human health and operations.

Provision of portable high-volume sampling kits for standardized collection and preservation of large water volumes, shipped to client site and returned to the lab.

Deployment and management of autonomous autosampling units that collect scheduled genetic snapshots and return cartridges to the laboratory for analysis.
