PUFFERFISH FAMILY:
The Aquatic Labs Pufferfish is an easy-to-use, compact, fast, and adaptive system for collecting large numbers of eDNA samples in situ.
eDNA Sampling Made Easy
EASY:
A seamless experience for non-technical users to safely deploy and recover
FAST:
Flow rates up to 5 L/min depending on your filter selection or the attached sampling modules
RUGGED:
Sample from the surface to 6000m deep with MultiPuffer, and up to 1000m with SoloPuffer
FLEXIBLE:
Designed for easy integration into virtually any platform. SoloPuffer includes wireless operation.
KEY FEATURES:
FILTER AGNOSTIC:
Modules available for a wide array of filter types and sizes
MANY SAMPLES:
16 module ports, single or triplicate samples per module
AUTO REPLICATES:
Collect up to 3 simultaneous replicates per sample
STERILIZATION:
All sample modules can be sterilized via autoclave or bleach
MULTI PUFFER:
High-Performance Automated eDNA Multi-Sampler
MultiPuffer packs an array of up to 16 high-performance Pufferfish pumps into a compact and robust unit designed for tethered deployment on ROVs, AUVs, HOVs, docks, moorings, and other fixed infrastructure. When large numbers of samples are needed, multiple MultiPuffer units can be daisy-chained to create large arrays carrying up to 64 pumps.
The system is controlled and powered through a single cable and a unified user interface. As a result, MultiPuffer is capable of processing far more water than a conventional Niskin carousel, fits in a fraction of the volume, enables more flexible sampling strategies, and requires far less time on deck or in the wet lab to collect and process samples.
SOLO PUFFER:
Autonomous eDNA Sampling Wherever You Go
Fast Sampling Pump
SOLO PUFFER:
Compatible With All Filter Cartridges
Integrated Battery
The SoloPuffer Sampler from Aquatic Labs is an autonomous single-pump eDNA sampler built around the PufferFish family of pumps and modules.
SoloPuffer incorporates a rechargeable battery, integrated Temperature and depth sensors, and a wireless command interface with live and historical data visualization and sampling mission validation.
The system is compatible with the full array of PufferFish sample modules (filtration, preservation, and water collection) and fits in the same package as a 1.7L Nisken bottle. SoloPuffer is capable of filtering 100s of liters per deployment.
SoloPuffer in the wild
Equally suited for backpacking into remote mountain streams, diver-deploying on a coral reef, or strapping to a deep ocean lander for depths of up to 1000m — The SoloPuffer is an all-weather traveler
