SpraySaver brings together the sampling equipment, data platform and analytics to enable farmers to take better spraying decisions.

The data platform records activity from remote samplers and provides all the analytics and charts to enable you to take the right decisions. Map your fields and record planting, harvesting and disease data.

The sampler uses a novel way of sampling airborne spores and depositing them into a pot prepared for downstream analysis. The device samples 300 litres of air per minute, collecting particles in the air, such as fungal spores.
At the end of the User-defined sampling period, the sample is moved through a series of different processes, which enables the instrument to detect the amount of spores of a target species that were in the air during the sampling period.
To do this, the spores are broken open in order to release the DNA inside. Once broken open, a subsample of the disrupted spores is transferred to a tube of dried reagents within the device, in order to detect the DNA of a specific crop pathogen using DNA-specific assay.
