After years of development, it's wonderful to finally see our production model #eDNA Autosampler out in the wild, and in the hands of great scientists. ❤️

Beta testing continues this summer and our plan is to do the first production run this winter.

Wow, finally high-frequency eDNA monitoring!
The paper is out!

"Field Trials of an Autonomous eDNA Sampler in Lotic Waters"

Excellent work led by Scott George, Adam Sepulveda, David Pilliod and Katy Klymus @USGS

Glamour shots of our NEW SUPR! 14 water samples onto 142 mm membrane filters, 1000-2000 Liters per sample and flow rates between 2000-6000 mL/min. #eDNA

It feels like #FSBI2024 was a lifetime ago, now! But as we reflect on the conference, we'd like to extend further massive thanks to @naiara_re, the local organising committee, the scientific advisory comittee and YOU, the conference attendees, for creating the perfect meeting!

A huge congratulations to this year's poster and talk winners, @GaelleBrahy and @mLisetteDelgado, respectively, and those in second place, Oriol Canals and @MaddalenaTibone. Very well deserved! The overall quality of posts/talks was superb, making it a tough choice! #FSBI2024

Inspiring and terrifying talk by @stefanako71 about systemic seafood mislabeling in our supply chains - both fresh and processed.

Take home for me: we should all go home and work with our local schools to develop curricula for seafood identification👇

Fascinating talk by Filipe O. Costa evaluating the impacts of filtration volume on #eDNA species richness.

80% of species detected at 5L.

Continued to detect more species up to 10L max tested volume. 👀

Looks like 47mm membranes.

Another fantastic evening socialising and networking with all the lovely fish people at #FSBI2024. Couldn't have asked for better surroundings, with the most picturesque, sun filled, boat ride down Nervión River. Followed up with a quick tram ride down to Bilbao old town!

So cool!!!

Finally getting to see the RoCSI automated eDNA sampler by @mclanelabs at #FSBI2024

An ingeniously simple design for a submersible instrument with sterivex filters.

👏👏👏

Second session by Austen Thomas from @SmithRoot talking about #eDNA sampling methods. One of the first names @LabRajeev #fishlab and I heard when we started working on #eDNA few years back.

I officially need to work on making better facial expressions while giving sampling demos.

I'm sorry 🤦‍♂️😭🤣
We wrapped up a fantastic Environmental DNA Sampling Workshop with the #eDNA #autosamoler at the #FSBI2024 Symposium. Thanks to everyone who participated! @TheFSBI @fsbi_symposium @AZTI_brta #FSBISymposium

Heading outside for a demo with @ScatDNA, looking at an #eDNA #CitizenScience sampling kit! Spot the Guggenheim taking a sneaky listen to the specs on this piece of kit 👂 #FSBI2024

Detection differences between eDNA and mid-water trawls are driven by fish biomass and habitat preferences

It's been a long time coming, but the SRI #eDNA Autosampler finally made it to the website. 🥳

We'll be adding more details and sprucing it up, but it's good to have this Live for our first production run in Apr.

Can you detect High Path Avian Flu from water samples collected on 5um Self-Preserving eDNA filters?

I don't know. Hopefully we'll find out shortly...
