Equipped with extended preservation technology, the system ensures high-quality DNA samples for accurate species detection and long-term ecological monitoring. Integrated remote data transmission capabilities allow users to access real-time system status and configuration.

Unlike manual sampling methods, our shore-based eDNA system minimizes human intervention while providing consistent, repeatable eDNAcollection. By offering a scalable, cost-effective, and non-invasive approach to environmental assessment, this solution supports sustainable resource management, conservation efforts, and regulatory compliance.

Whether for scientific research, environmental impact assessments, or early detection of ecosystem changes, our Buoy-based eDNA system provides reliable, high-resolution insights, transforming how we monitor and protect aquatic environments.
