Reduced Chance of Sample Contamination

Alternate sampling methods require removal of the filter in the field for preservation. Any handling method will increase the chance of contamination. With the self-preserving filter housing, the filter is never handled until safely back in the laboratory giving you increased confidence in your research.

Higher DNA Yields

Research demonstrated almost twice the yield of DNA per liter when using self-preserving filter housings compared to the standard methods using ethanol. Easier to use and improved science!

No More Ethanol

Preparing to go in the field is time consuming. With the self-preserving filter housing, you no longer need to prepare vials of ethanol for the field. Not to mention, you just lightened your load by leaving the ethanol behind.
