YUCO-eDNA, the most compact AUV to collect environmental DNA sample

YUCO-PHYSICO

YUCO-eDNA

YUCO-eDNA micro-AUV just make AUV technology accessible. Using YUCO-eDNA is certainly nowadays one of the most simple and cost-effective way to collect environmental DNA samples to identify the va&rious living beings that live or have passed through this natural environmental, including rare species. This is a non-invasive biodiversity monitoring technique for natural environments and species. It comes with a DVL to compensate current drift, improve positioning and keep altitude from the sea floor.

With an autonomy up to 8 hours, and speed up to 6knots, and depth rated at 300m.

Thanks to the INX navigation and DVL YUCO-eDNA is able to achieve navigation accuracy better than +/-2% without requiring any external elements sur as acoustic telemetry.

YUCO-eDNA is sold with a watertight peristaltic pump system that allows you to pump water without contamination. In option, the AUV comes with a system for water flow measurement.

The entire pumping and measurement system is designed to accommodate a VigiDNA© filitration kit, which is sold by Spygen.

This is one of the advantages that makes SEABER underwater vehicle so unique, accurate navigation, ease of use, great autonomy and a real single person deployment no external acoustic tool required.

SEAPLAN software provides an ideal and versatile interface for the YUCO-eDNA micro-AUV and have pre-defined lawn-mover patterns to make a swift eDNA mission.

Thanks to its mission programming savings and updates, SEAPLAN facilitates discovery of new area as well as repetitive mission in similar locations.

YUCO-eDNA is provided with all the necessary functions to be ready-to-deploy :

  • INX Navigation system
  • DVL
  • SEAPLAN Software
  • Embedded rechargeable batteries
  • SEACOMM
  • Field case and accessories
