Sentinel Field Surveillance Kits
Configurable Equipment Packages for Structured Field Monitoring
What this product is
Sentinel Field Surveillance Kits are configurable equipment packages designed around the practical requirements of mosquito and vector-monitoring programs.
Kits may include recommended trapping equipment, inspection tools, specimen-handling supplies, field documentation materials, protective storage, mapping accessories, and deployment guidance.
We do not manufacture every component. Equipment packages may include sourced, configured, or recommended third-party components depending on project requirements, availability, and the conditions a program operates in.
- 01Trapping equipment selection and configuration
- 02Inspection and dipping tools
- 03Specimen-handling and labeling supplies
- 04Printed field documentation and forms
- 05Protective storage and transport cases
- 06Mapping and site-marking accessories
- 07Written deployment guidance
- 08Replacement and consumable planning
What this product exists to correct
Every capability below was added because a program somewhere was losing information it had already paid to collect.
Equipment selection consumes planning time
Teams compare catalogs, trap styles, and consumables without a clear frame of reference for what a program of their size and climate actually needs.
Field setups drift between crews
When each vehicle carries a different combination of tools and forms, data quality varies by who collected it and comparisons become unreliable.
Onboarding depends on one experienced person
Without written deployment guidance, new staff learn equipment handling informally and inconsistently.
Consumables and replacements are unplanned
Programs discover mid-season that they are short on collection supplies, batteries, labels, or spare parts.
From field entry to reviewed decision
Nothing here is autonomous. Each stage produces something a qualified person reviews.
Kit contents, component availability, and configurations vary by project requirements and supplier terms. Some components are sourced third-party products and are subject to their manufacturers’ specifications and warranties. Surveillance equipment supports monitoring and documentation and does not control vector populations or prevent disease transmission.

Define the monitoring objective
We start with what the program needs to observe: species of interest, habitat types, number of sites, visit frequency, and the records the data must support.
Match equipment to conditions
Trap styles, power options, storage, and handling supplies are selected against site access, climate, transport limits, and crew size.
Configure the package
Components are grouped into a defined kit with a parts list, labeling scheme, and case layout so every unit in the field is identical.
Document the deployment
Each kit is issued with setup steps, handling notes, field forms, and a checklist for what to verify at the site.
Plan expansion and replacement
Consumable use and wear items are estimated so the program can budget for resupply instead of reacting to shortages.
Where programs put this to work
Starting a monitoring program
An environmental services operator adds surveillance to an existing service line and needs a defined, repeatable field setup.
Standardizing multiple crews
A district equips several vehicles identically so records collected by different inspectors remain comparable.
Remote deployment
A field team working away from facilities needs self-contained storage, documentation, and handling supplies.
Research and pilot work
A university group configures matched kits so equipment differences do not confound site comparisons.

How a deployment proceeds
1. Requirement analysis
Sites, habitats, access conditions, crew size, storage, and documentation needs are reviewed.
2. Configuration proposal
A recommended kit configuration is prepared with component options, quantities, and sourcing notes.
3. Sourcing and assembly
Components are sourced or specified. Availability, lead times, and third-party terms are stated in writing.
4. Field issue and orientation
Kits are labeled, documented, and issued with orientation materials for the crews using them.
5. Season review
What worked, what wore out, and what should change in the next configuration are documented.
Common questions about Sentinel Field Surveillance Kits
01Do you manufacture the equipment in the kits?
No. Kits may include sourced, configured, or recommended third-party components. We are transparent about which items are manufacturer products and which parts of the package are our configuration, documentation, and guidance.
02Can a kit be adapted to our existing equipment?
Yes. Many programs already own traps or inspection tools. Configurations can be built around what you have, filling gaps rather than replacing working equipment.
03Do kits include pesticides or treatment products?
No. Kits are for surveillance, inspection, documentation, and specimen handling. We do not supply or apply pesticide products.
04Is training included?
Kits are issued with written deployment guidance and field documentation. More detailed team orientation and operating procedures can be developed as a separate documentation engagement.
05How are component substitutions handled?
Availability changes. When a specified component cannot be sourced, we identify alternatives and explain the practical differences before anything is substituted.
