STORAGE PROCEDURE
1. Always replace the orange “IN” and “OUT” port caps when the system is not in
use.
2. When you return from sampling, or If the EDNA Sampler unit will not be in use
for > 24 hours, please use the following procedure:
a. Attach tubing to the unit. Place the “IN” tube into a clean container with
> 3L fresh tap water, and the “OUT” tube in the sink. If a bleach solution is
used for decontamination, be sure to fully flush the system with fresh water
prior to storage.
Note: Do not use bleach concentrations > 2%, as this will
damage the pump.
b. Run the pump in manual mode at 1L/min, for 2 minutes, but do not run the
pump dry.
c. Stop the cycle with the stop button after 2 Liters have been flushed
through. Disconnect the tubing (with water still in system), and replace the
orange caps; this will ensure that the diaphragms are stored moist and will
continue to function.
MARINE APPLICATIONS
The eDNA Sampler can be used in salt water, however, a fresh water rinse is re-
quired after each use. Please follow the storage procedure described above to
flush the system.
