👕 Canadians generate 1,920 tonnes of microfibre pollution every year. By 2030, our laundry alone is expected to create 6,558 tonnes of microfibres - the equivalent of 44 million t-shirts! Microfibres released from our clothes enter waterways, farmlands and even our bodies, and can carry toxic chemicals with them. This pollution is largely unregulated but threatens our health and ecosystems. 🌎 📙 Ocean Diagnostics Inc. , Raincoast Conservation Foundation and Environment and Climate Change Canada have produced a comprehensive report on this growing issue and actions WE ALL - government, industry and consumers - can take to stop microfibre pollution.

Ascension is our portable 22-pound environmental DNA filtration device that rapidly collects filtered eDNA samples in fresh or marine water down to 400-meter depths from the side of any small vessel or fixed installation. Ascension’s innovative modular design features seven separate sampling channels, each equipped with a reusable 47 millimeter diameter filter housing, so you can collect up to seven discrete samples from different depths in a single deployment. These filter housings are easily loaded and unloaded from the instrument in a few quick steps to allow rapid sample replacement in the field. Sample YOUR way with Ascension.
