Statement of Work
USGS NYWSC PI requests purchase of 1 eDNA autosampling platform to support biosurveillance efforts at the New York Water Science Center. This purchase will enable more cost-effective and efficient monitoring of invasive species across international borders and in the New York State Canal System. Failure to efficiently monitor in these areas can lead to negative impacts to regional economies and recreational opportunities, and increased future costs to manage an established invasive species.
This platform must meet or exceed the following specifications:
· Collect, filter, and preserve 8 or more eDNA water samples,
· Uses filters that are preloaded and do not require any handling in the field; it can remain ‘closed’ until safely back in the lab,
· Must integrate self-preserving filter housing using desiccation as preservation method to simplify shipping process,
· Uses 47-mm diameter PES or MCE filters that include 5 µm pore size options,
· Water volume accuracy of ≥ 95%,
· Includes a GPS,
· Can be programmed to collect consecutive samples and/or collect samples on a user-defined scheduled,
· Run off of battery for up to 30 days or shore power,
· Weigh 100 lb or less,
· User-friendly interface for operation and data retrieval,
· Evidence of 3rd-party (independent) validation and testing,
· Package must include a shipping/transportation case, at least two batteries, and all necessary accessories for basic operation
