{"product_id":"edna-sampling","title":"eDNA Survey","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery organism in a lake sheds genetic material into the water — skin cells, scales, mucus, pollen, spores. Filter a litre of that water, sequence what is caught on the filter, and you get a list of what has recently been in it: fish, plants, algae, invertebrates, and in many cases pathogens. No nets, no electrofishing, no diver, no specialist training.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSold in sets of three. Three samples is the minimum order and it is deliberate — a single sample describes one corner of a lake, and three sites across different habitats is what makes the result a survey rather than a data point. On-site filtration takes roughly five minutes per sample using a syringe and an encapsulated filter, and the preservation system means samples ship at room temperature by ordinary post.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou keep the raw sequence files. That is what turns this from a test into a record — reference libraries improve every year, and archived data can be reprocessed against a better one later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote on methodology: eDNA metabarcoding is not an EPA-approved method. It is a survey and screening tool, and results are not suitable for regulatory or compliance use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lake Pulse Toolbox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45900678004915,"sku":"E-DNA-001","price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/4070\/6483\/files\/unsplash-image-azWmN1vjxzM.jpg?v=1749822433","url":"https:\/\/toolbox.lakepulse.co\/products\/edna-sampling","provider":"Lake Pulse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
