Smith-Root eDNA filter packets are custom designed to maximize the filterable water volume in eDNA studies and help improve species detection sensitivity. The inverted filtration orientation and mechanical design maximize eDNA particle concentration on the membrane filter. A range of pore sizes are available for different environmental conditions.
