Use & integration
Recorded applications
Biodiversity monitoring
Environmental assessment around marine infrastructure
Remote water-sampling programmes
These describe the reviewed application scope, not confirmed deployments, released requirements or procurement eligibility.
Evidence of maturity
DOT-NM evaluated by Fugro at Portchester; Rapid Sampler datasheet identifies development and early trials.
Commercial availability
Configuration and laboratory workflow arranged with DOT and relevant partners; depth options require appropriate hardware.
Integration and verification
Readiness
A technology readiness level is not established by the reviewed public sources.
The publicly described Underwater environmental sensing and eDNA sampling could contribute to underwater monitoring decisions. This is a derived mapping for reviewer assessment and does not establish classified demand, procurement eligibility, endorsement or operational adoption.
This is a reviewed public-source assessment. It is not procurement eligibility, endorsement, customer interest, or classified demand.

DOT-NM has 20, 200 and 3,000 metre depth options, RS232 output and third-party sensor triggering, 3 W average/7 W peak power, and sampling up to 1 litre per hour depending on environmental conditions; deeper versions require additional components.

Fugro reports testing the DOT-NM sampler developed with NatureMetrics at its Portchester marina, finding data comparable to manual methods and identifying integration with USVs, SEAWATCH buoys and seabed landers. This is a customer-reported trial, not proof of every deepwater configuration.
The eDNA Rapid Sampler is an autonomous early-stage-trial product with a nine-filter cassette and nine channels, up to three sampling simultaneously, a 20 metre depth rating, RS232/RS485/Ethernet and nominal flow below 600 mL/min. The sheet explicitly warns specifications may change during development.

DOT-NM is an autonomous programmed eDNA sampler with RNAlater preservation and a removable filter cassette; filters go to NatureMetrics for extraction and sequencing. Reagent capacity supports 27 samples across three cassettes, so this is not 27 unattended samples in one cassette.
