YUCO-eDNA

The YUCO-eDNA is an autonomous eDNA sampling device optimized for in situ collection and preservation of genetic material from aquatic ecosystems. Its compact design and smart automation enable users to conduct repeated sampling missions with minimal disturbance, accelerating biodiversity monitoring, invasive species detection, and ecosystem health assessment. 

Key Features: 

• Automated Water Sampling & Filtration
  Integrated pumps and filter cartridges enable high-efficiency water filtration onsite, capturing DNA from a variety of aquatic environments for subsequent lab analysis. 

• Onboard Sample Preservation
  Samples are automatically preserved with proprietary reagents, ensuring DNA integrity during storage and transport without the need for cold-chain logistics. 

• Compact & Lightweight
  Designed for easy deployment by a single operator, weighing under 12 kg with a streamlined form factor for versatile use in rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal zones. 

• Long Endurance Missions
  Battery-powered for extended autonomous operation of up to 6 hours, supporting multiple sampling cycles per deployment. 

• User-Friendly Mission Control
  Mission planning and sampling parameters are easily configured through SEAPLAN software, enabling automated, repeatable sampling routes tailored to project needs. 

• Real-Time Data Logging
  Integrated sensors monitor sampling parameters and environmental conditions, storing detailed metadata for comprehensive data analysis.
