Every microplastic particle tells a story that can help inform solutions. Our Lab Manager, Iselle, explains how microplastic "fingerprints" provide data that is crucial for understanding how microplastics move through the environment, their sources, and how to stop them. #microplastics #envsci

Industries from agriculture and fisheries to construction and energy are increasingly required to report on #biodiversity. Our automated #eDNA depth sampler is a cost-effective tool to collect reliable data on biodiversity, invasive, at-risk and cryptic species, and parasites and pathogens.

"One of my favourite parts of this (#eDNA) system is that it’s compatible with a wide range of filter types, making it easy to tailor to different project needs. It’s streamlined the sampling process in a way I couldn’t have done otherwise.” - Amy Migneault from @uvic.ca & @mersociety.bsky.social.
