Spore Sentry is an automated fungal spore trap. The trap is placed within a cropped area and works by sucking in air at 100 litres/min, far more than traditional spore traps.  At the end of capture, a liquid reagent is automatically mixed with spores to release DNA, which is analysed using Loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). Results are produced after about 30 minutes and sent wirelessly to a central database daily.  Spore Sentry can take air samples and conduct tests unattended for up to eight pathogens per day over seven days before the LAMP consumables need replenishing.  It has been developed for Septoria.
