RoCSI eDNA Sampler
6,000 m-rated robotic sampler that collects and preserves water samples in Sterivex filter cartridges for eDNA analysis.
Description
The Robotic Cartridge Sampling Instrument (RoCSI) is an in situ autonomous oceanographic sampler that collects and preserves water samples into 0.22 and 0.45 micron Sterivex™ filter cartridges for later eDNA analysis. It is a 2023 technology transfer from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC). Fifty or more samples are possible depending on power and storage; in-line bleach flushing reduces cross contamination. Suitable for vehicle integration, moorings, buoys, bottom landers and shipboard use.
