Smith-Root eDNA Self-Preserving Filter Packs

Simplify Your Environmental DNA Sampling with Self-Preserving eDNA Filters

Reliable filtration with no need for refrigeration. Ideal for field researchers and citizen scientists alike.

Self-Preserving eDNA Filter Packs are an innovative solution for collecting environmental DNA, eliminating the need for refrigeration or preservation buffers. Each pack includes preloaded inline filters with PES membranes and a tube extension, available in 0.45 µm, 1.2 µm, or 5.0 µm pore sizes. Smith-Root’s unique design incorporates a hydrophilic, biodegradable resin that automatically absorbs moisture to preserve captured DNA for over six months at room temperature. Perfect for field sampling, citizen science projects, and biodiversity studies where logistics can be challenging.

Key Features:

• Hassle-Free Self-Preservation: No need for silica bags, buffers, or refrigeration.
• Extended Stability: Preserves eDNA for over 6 months at room temperature.
• Easy to Use: Simply return the filter to its original packaging after sampling.
• High-Quality Membrane: Made of PES for accurate and efficient DNA capture.
• Detachable Design: Filter housing can be easily opened for recovery or further processing.
• Field-Ready: Significantly reduces equipment needed for remote sampling.
• Compatible with Multiple Sampling Systems: Includes tube extension for direct connection.
