Fellow #eDNA enthusiasts. Have a look at @SmithRoot eDNA sampler! If you happen to be in AUS, I am sure @enviro_DNA could set you up with some unique opportunities to check this ;)
So great to see details of the @SmithRoot #eDNA Citizen Science sampler up on the web. Key features include: ✔️ Minimal training required ✔️ Filtration of large volumes in seconds ✔️ Single button control ✔️ Ideal for Self-preserving eDNA Filters Field pics to come @ScatDNA! 🙌

Despite some rain we had a successful sampling day at the #Lippe today with @SchuetzRobin and @KamilHupalo! Also, first time using @SmithRoot eDNA filters to filter a total of 45 liters in just a couple of hours! Excited to extract eRNA & eDNA in the coming days! 🧬🐟🦌🦞🪱

Quick #eDNA sampling tutorial video with the Smith-Root eDNA Citizen Scientist pump. Made this in a hurry today for a project in AK. Videography credit goes to some random kids in park. Thanks for taking pity on me while I was struggling to prop my phone up on a rock! 😳😂

Beautiful morning to be on Alexandrium patrol with my trusty @SmithRoot friend #fieldwork #algalblooms #envirnonmentalDNA
Great presentation @scatDNA! The little gem in the middle of the picture was a life saver last summer and allowed me to take 350 4L samples within three days. #DNaqua2021 #CitizenScience

Aquatic “Ghostbusters” seemed an appropriate class activity today! Here @Fish_Baetz gets set up for some on-campus electrofishing! #NichollsFish #FreshVsSaltyFish🎃

Snapshot of Greece's aquatic ecosystems: Podoniftis tributary of the Athenian Kifissos basin. Electrofishing revealed European Eels and a translocated population of Barbus sperchiensis (Sperchios Barbel) and Squalius vardarensis (Macedonian chub). Urban stream and "classroom".

Great news! Many thanks to the @SmithRoot team, we can't wait for these innovative #eDNA Samplers to arrive 👏 Looking forward to sampling with these for some exciting new projects coming up with @Deakin and @nswdpi - some field pics to come @ScatDNA!
Working on docs for our new Citizen Scientist #eDNA Sampler @SmithRoot. Goal is to make sample collection fast, simple and reliable with minimal training. First batch of production units being built this week and headed for @enviro_DNA - Field pics please! bit.ly/3ouqtpJ

Zoology and Environmental Science classes went electrofishing Monday! They had a great time looking at native Kansas fishes, big and small. Big thanks to Kansas Wildlife and Parks!
