ecoSampler is an innovative underwater sampler engineered for autonomous sample acquisition down to 2,500 meters. Developed for seamless integration with ecoSUB’s AUV platforms, this novel payload enables the collection of water samples for later lab-based analysis, overcoming the inherent limitations of traditional sensors in capturing parameters like environmental DNA, trace metals, and organic compounds.
Purpose-built to meet the rigorous demands of deep-sea and mid-water research missions, the ecoSampler provides marine scientists and environmental monitoring agencies with a powerful tool to enrich collected data with physical water samples. The system accommodates mission-specific configurations and significantly enhances the analytical capabilities of uncrewed platforms in oceanographic, ecological, and regulatory applications.
