Environmental Sample Processor (ESP)
Environmental Sample Processor (ESP) : An autonomous, electromechanical fluidic system capable of collecting discrete water samples (milliliters to liters), concentrating particulates, and conducting end-to-end molecular biological analyses (e.g., molecular probe assays, qPCR, immunoassays) to detect target analytes (e.g., toxic algae, bacterial pathogens, toxins/metabolites). Data are made available in near real-time via radio, cell phone, or satellite, and are archived onboard. Two-way communications provide for adaptive, 'on-the-fly' changes to mission configuration. ESP deployments can be sub-surface or land-based, with sampling depth determined by application
