Our co-founders had a clear mission: Develop innovative tech to generate the #microplastics data needed to inform solutions. They introduced sensors, automation and machine learning to microplastic sampling and lab analysis to advance #science and #conservation. oceandiagnostics.com/microplastic...

As part of the Darwin 200 Expedition, scientists from Ascension Island Government used our automated #eDNA depth sampler in the Marine Protected Area seamounts to detect shark presence. The scientific data will inform #conservation. 🦈 #SharkWeek2026 #SharkWeek #marinescience #fisheries

Scientists at @stanforduniversity.bsky.social say advancements in #eDNA technology could help us to answer the question, ‘If I surf at this beach today, is there a white shark around?” 🦈 Read the story: oceandiagnostics.com/ocean-diagno... #whitesharks #sharkweek #sharks #science #oceanscience

Scientists at @stanforduniversity.bsky.social used our #eDNA technology to detect #whitesharks at even unsuspected sites in California. 🦈 Ongoing monitoring could demystify the species behaviour and reduce uncertainty about their presence at recreational beaches. #sharkweek #sharkweek2026 #sharks

Can eDNA Promote Harmony Between Humans and White Sharks?

Using Ocean Diagnostics' eDNA sampling technology, scientists are monitoring coastal recreational sites to detect white shark presence.

We analyze microplastic samples in our ISO-5 Clean Laboratory using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (#FTIR). We can identify 20 of the most common plastic polymer types down to 10 microns and provide reliable polymer abundance, size, morphology, and chemical composition data. 🧑🏼‍🔬🔬

We offer FREE microplastics resources for classrooms and communities. Learn how to identify microplastic types, where they come from and how you can help contribute data. Subscribe to get started. oceandiagnostics.com/microplastic...

Moon jellies galore on this weekend's paddle in #Victoria. 🪼 #YYJ #pacificocean #ecology

How does our exec team unwind? In the ocean of course! 🤿 Ashleigh and Ethan enjoy exploring the Salish Sea by boat, paddle and fins. A new favourite past time is identifying the anemones and fish in Victoria while snorkeling. The waters are frigid, but the creatures are breathtaking.

Dr. Kim Parsons is a research geneticist at @fisheries.noaa.gov in Seattle. Her team uses Ocean Diagnostics' #eDNA depth and surface samplers to study large #marinemammals. By uncovering how #cetaceans travels in marine waters they can better inform conservation measures. 🐳🐬 (Video by Paul Hillman)

It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it! 💩 Our lab team has been analyzing #microplastics from wastewater samples using #FTIR (in a clean room not pictured). Even when they're out of the field, our scientists find a way to get their hands dirty. 🙈 #environmentalscience #monitoring #waterquality

From Barbados and Canada to Nigeria and Australia, community Scientists around the world are helping to tackle microplastic pollution. Read their stories and start a project in your community: hubs.ly/Q04nQ5hV0 Together, WE can ALL make a difference. #citizenscience #plasticfreejuly #microplastic

(1/6) Does banning plastic bags really stop #plasticpollution? In 2022, the Canadian Government introduced a single-use plastic ban that included plastic bags, cutlery, takeout containers, stir sticks and straws. The ban was largely influenced by the Canadian public. #plasticfreejuly

Our #eDNA Surface Sampler has been out in the field with Aden Ip from @ednacollab.bsky.social as part of a portable toolkit to collect fish, pathogen and bacteria data all in less than a day's work! 🧬🐟 www.linkedin.com/posts/aden-i... (Photo credit: Aden Ip) #genomics #biodiversity #IAS #science

Our collaborators at @fisheries.noaa.gov launched the first joint #killerwhale survey to examine endangered southern residents shift to coast. With our automated sampler, they effectively collect #eDNA samples at depth. 🐋 www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-stor... #marineecology #cetaceans #oceanscience

As a company founded by marine scientists and engineers to overcome field sampling challenges with innovative tech, we designed a portable #eDNA surface sampler that anyone, anywhere can use. 🧬🐟 Check it out: oceandiagnostics.com/edna-surface... #biodiversity #freshwater #marineecology

6/6 This demonstrate the power of eDNA-based datasets offering a scalable approach for #detecting and #attributing #biodiversity change and informing conservation strategies under accelerating global change. Great collaboration across many labs & datasets! Led by #YanZhang #UZH @eawag.bsky.social

Environmental DNA is a cost-effective and non-invasive method to effectively monitor freshwater and marine biodiversity. 🧬🦦 Explore its different applications and innovative sampling technologies: hubs.ly/Q04mzKbr0 #biodiversity #ecology #marineecology #marinebiology #freshwaterecology #eDNA

New tech is transforming #fisheries science and #salmon conservation. The Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission recently uncovered surprising Chinook migration behaviours using our #eDNA Surface Sampler in extremely remote headwaters. Findings are helping inform conservation. hubs.ly/Q04mpDqQ0

Every microplastic particle tells a story that can help inform solutions. Our Lab Manager, Iselle, explains how microplastic "fingerprints" provide data that is crucial for understanding how microplastics move through the environment, their sources, and how to stop them. #microplastics #envsci

Industries from agriculture and fisheries to construction and energy are increasingly required to report on #biodiversity. Our automated #eDNA depth sampler is a cost-effective tool to collect reliable data on biodiversity, invasive, at-risk and cryptic species, and parasites and pathogens.

"One of my favourite parts of this (#eDNA) system is that it’s compatible with a wide range of filter types, making it easy to tailor to different project needs. It’s streamlined the sampling process in a way I couldn’t have done otherwise.” - Amy Migneault from @uvic.ca & @mersociety.bsky.social.

Environmental DNA sampling can help to protect endangered species like many sea turtles. A non-invasive method that captures genetic material shed in the environments, #eDNA is cost-effective and scalable for ongoing monitoring. oceandiagnostics.com/biodiversity... #worldturtleday #seaturtleweek

Estuaries transport plastic from land to the ocean, but their high turbidity makes them challenging to study. New methods and technology to monitor #microplastics in estuaries have now been validated. oceandiagnostics.com/ocean-diagno... #plasticpollution #microplasticresearch #oceanography
