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.

Spore Sentry je avtomatizirana past, za spore gliv. Past deluje tako, da sesa zrak v svojo notranjst s hitrostjo 100 litrov/min, kar je veliko več od tradicionalnih pasti za lov spor. V pasti je nameščen tudi tekoči reagent, ki se samodejno zmeša s sporami, ko jih past nalovi, s tem se sprosti DNK, ki se ga analizira z uporabo izotermične amplifikacije (LAMP). Rezultati analize DNK pridobimo po približno 30 minutah, ti se dnevno pošljejo v centralno bazo podatkov. Spor Sentry deluje avtonomno in lahko zbere do 8 vrst sport različnih patogenov. Past so razvili za spremljanje septorij.
