Description
The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) requires an autonomous in-situ robotic water sampling instrument for the collection of environmental DNA (eDNA), including associated hardware and documentation.
The contract was awarded to ensure compatibility and continuity with existing RoCSI deployments and datasets, as alternative solutions would not have met the full technical, operational, and integration requirements without introducing significant technical and operational risk.
