3D printing template for The Water-Exclusion Trap (WET): A 3D printable window trap collector that prevents DNA degradation

3D templates of a long-term storable bottom collector for window or pitfall traps. The collection medium in a LEE trap barely evaporates and does not dilute because water is excluded, maximizing DNA preservation. Based on field-collected specimens and lab experiments, we confirm that the LEE significantly outperforms conventional traps in terms of DNA quality.

适用于窗式诱捕器或地面陷阱诱捕器的长期可存储底部收集器的3D模板。LEE诱捕器（LEE trap）内的收集介质因隔绝了外界水分，几乎不会发生蒸发，也不会被稀释，从而最大化DNA保存效果。基于野外采集的标本与实验室实验，我们证实LEE诱捕器在DNA质量层面显著优于传统诱捕器。
