The Remote Intelligent Spore Capture System is an automatic field instrument for monitoring 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 photographs the sample with a built-in HD camera. Photos can be taken remotely and automatically or by hand, and they can be selected and uploaded automatically.
Spore information can be viewed online in a mobile app and on a cloud platform, and GPS positioning shows each device's location on a web map, giving plant pathologists, agronomists, and crop-protection researchers access to a location-specific record of spore pressure. This record 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 time can be set from 60 to 1,200 minutes, and the 10.4-inch on-device color display allows local status checks during site visits. The system also checks the temperature inside its enclosure, sends automatic alarms remotely, and has lightning protection.
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 photographs them with its built-in HD camera. 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 HD camera photos to support that analysis.
What collection time can be set?
Collection time can be set from 60 to 1,200 minutes.
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?
Photos can be taken remotely and automatically or by hand, and they can be selected and uploaded automatically. Spore information can then be viewed online in the mobile app or on the cloud platform. A 10.4-inch color display on the unit also provides local status information during site visits.
