The Remote Intelligent Spore Capture System is a fully autonomous field instrument designed for continuous, real-time monitoring of airborne fungal spores and plant disease inocula. By drawing air through its collection chamber at a controlled flow rate, the system captures spore deposits onto a defined collection area and pairs that sample with high-accuracy built-in microscopy imaging — producing timestamped spore photographs without any on-site operator intervention.
Images are uploaded automatically to a remote management platform, giving plant pathologists, agronomists, and crop-protection researchers access to a live, location-specific record of spore pressure. This continuous data stream supports early-warning models for disease outbreaks, enabling timely and targeted intervention decisions across growing seasons.
The enclosure is rated for operation across a wide environmental range — from sub-freezing winters to high-humidity summer conditions — and can be powered from grid AC or a solar-plus-battery system, making it equally suited to remote field sites, experimental stations, and commercial growing operations. Collection intervals are fully adjustable, and the 10.4-inch on-device color display allows local status checks during site visits.
Because deployment requirements vary by crop, geography, and monitoring network scale, this system is configured to the specific needs of each research or surveillance program. Contact our team to discuss your monitoring objectives and receive a tailored configuration quote.

What types of spores or pathogens can this system monitor?
The system is designed for disease and spore monitoring broadly — it captures airborne spores present at the deployment site and images them with the built-in microscopy system. The specific pathogens or fungal species that can be identified depend on your image-analysis workflow and the organisms present in your environment; the instrument provides the captured samples and high-accuracy microscopy images to support that analysis.
How often does the system collect samples, and can the interval be adjusted?
Collection time is adjustable from 60 to 1,200 minutes per cycle, giving you flexibility from hourly snapshots to extended collection windows suited to lower-spore-pressure environments or long-term seasonal studies.
Can the system operate off-grid or in remote field locations?
Yes. In addition to standard AC 220 V (±10%) grid power, the system supports DC 12 V operation via a solar panel and battery configuration, making it suitable for remote agricultural fields, forest monitoring plots, or any site without reliable mains power.
What environmental conditions can the system withstand?
The system is rated for ambient temperatures from −30 °C to 70 °C and relative humidity up to 98% RH, with an insulation resistance of ≥5 MΩ. This range covers harsh winter and tropical growing-season conditions in most field deployments.
How are captured images accessed, and is the system truly unattended?
The system operates around the clock without on-site attendance. Microscopy images taken at each collection interval are automatically uploaded to a remote management platform for review and analysis. A 10.4-inch color display on the unit also provides local status information during scheduled site visits.
