The first project lead was Kawin Pechetratanapanit for the embedded software and myself for hardware (mechanical and electrical). I designed electrical hardware from the Logic to the Power module. Furthermore, I also design the first version of the sampler from tubing to filter design. The project was aimed to reduce labor costs and long sampling duration for a remote location.

Overview

Organisms leave traces of DNA as they move through their environments. The extraction of these DNA traces is known as environmental DNA (eDNA). eDNA provides scientists and researchers a non-invasive and sensitive way to detect and quantify species. However, traditional eDNA sampling consists of manually filtering water, which is labor and cost-intensive for remote locations.
