Description

Biological OsmoSampler System that preserves microbial communities in situ by adding preservative directly to the sample stream during collection. Enables molecular analysis of microbial communities from temporally inaccessible locations.

Typical Equipment

  • BOSS system
  • RNA/DNA Shield preservative

Output Measurements

  • preserved microbial DNA
  • microbial community composition
