Full description

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) requires a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) instrument and accessories for measures of DNA concentrations to support environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis. DFO is increasing in-house capacity to use eDNA for freshwater monitoring and requires a qPCR instrument with additional features that are currently unavailable to the program.
