User's Manual: Flexible Fluidics for Genomics, Module Operation. Version 1.0. McQuillan, J.S.; Bhuiyan, W.T.  Lopez-Garcia, Patricia This document is the User’s Manual for the TechOceanS Flexible Fluidics Genomics Analysis System. The term ‘System’ refers to the collective use of Flexible Fluidics Modules and associated apparatus for the purpose of obtaining a purified DNA sample and analysing that DNA sample by nucleic acid amplification and fluorometric detection of a target sequence. It will describe the operational steps necessary to complete a genomics analysis, including DNA purification and DNA sequence amplification and detection on prototype desktop apparatus. This apparatus is intended for the validation of the flexible fluidics technology for the purpose of DNA purification and analysis, and as a ‘tool’ to assist the team in the development and optimisation of the technology. It does not constitute a fully functional or deployable system. The apparatus can be used with Flexible Fluidics modules for DNA purification and for DNA amplification for the measurement of a range of target species and covering many different applications; the relevant DNA amplification assays and chemistries have been designed, optimised and validated through the TechOceanS project. Information is given in the D3.1 and D8.1 reports.

User’s Manual: WP13 Microplastics Sampler. Version 01. Morris, Andrew Lopez-Garcia, Patricia This document is the User Manual of the microplastic sampler developed within the TechOceanS project. The sampler was designed to enable a high (100+) potential number of samples to be facilitated. The version described in this document can carry out autonomous sampling from a sample line. The system only requires power to be provided. User defined timings, volumes and flows are input through a programmable interface during set-up which directs the subsequent operation. As the system operates each new filtered sample is covered and archived so that upon retrieval of the system they remain uncontaminated and can be later processed.

TechOceanS Deliverable 2.4. Plan for exploitation and dissemination of results (PEDR), Version 1.0. Porter, Keegan; Finlay, Sive; Ní Cheallacháin, Cliona; Cardillo, Pamela The TechOceanS Plan for Exploitation and Dissemination of Results (PEDR) describes the dissemination, communication and exploitation activities to be performed as a means to promote TechOceanS and exploit the project results. It is a dynamic document and therefore evaluated periodically for effective needs and adjusted if needed. The TechOceanS PEDR outlines the EC rights and obligations of the consortium related to the dissemination and communication of project results, identifies key project stakeholders, defines the communication tools and channels and describes the means (tools, messages) of dissemination. In addition, it describes the internal processes and protocols set up to manage generated knowledge and to ensure exploitation of TechOceanS results. The PEDR adopts EC best practice guidelines and defines the objectives of TechOceanS’ communication, dissemination and engagement strategy. It also identifies end-users, proposes communication tools and channels, and outlines responsibilities and resources to carry out effective knowledge management and measure impact. TechOceanS will develop and make use of the latest tools, resources and communication channels to ensure cost effectiveness and maximum impact.
