Active eDNA Collection
We collected water for active eDNA
filtration to compare to the results of passive eDNA collection.
Five 1 L surface water samples
were collected in sterile 1 L containers at five different times over
the day and filtered with cellulose ester membranes (47 mm diameter,
0.45 µm pore size) using a peristaltic Sentino® Microbiology Pump on a
clean benchtop at the aquarium facility. All water samples were taken on
the first day.
