Abstract Objective Silica gel beads have promise as a non-toxic, cost-effective, portable method for storing environmental DNA (eDNA) immobilized on filter membranes. Consequently, many ecological surveys are turning to silica bead filter desiccation rather than ethanol preservation. However, no systematic evaluation of silica bead storage conditions or duration past 1 week has been published. The present study evaluates the quality of filter-immobilized eDNA desiccated with silica gel under different storage conditions for over a year using targeted quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-based assays. Results While the detection of relatively abundant eDNA target was stable over 15 months from either ethanol- or silica gel-preserved filters at − 20 and 4 °C, silica gel out-performed ethanol preservation at 23 °C by preventing a progressive decrease in eDNA sample quality. Silica gel filter desiccation preserved low abundance eDNA equally well up to 1 month regardless of storage temperature (18, 4, or − 20 °C). However only storage at − 20 °C prevented a noticeable decrease in detectability at 5 and 12 months. The results indicate that brief storage of eDNA filters with silica gel beads up to 1 month can be successfully accomplished at a range of temperatures. However, longer-term storage should be at − 20 °C to maximize sample integrity.

Silver nanoparticles (Ag0) have attracted the most attention due to their broad antimicrobial application and outstanding activity. The silver nanoparticles are usually in colloidal form, then immobilization the colloid onto solid support is still interesting to explore. In this work, a new method for silver colloidal nanoparticle immobilization on silica gel beads (SiG), which was then symbolized as Ag0-[chi-SiG] was conducted and characterized successfully. The finding proved that SiG must be coated with three chitosan film layers to give stable support for silver nanoparticles. This coating method caused the chitosan completely covered SiG, and the chitosan film provides coordination bonding for silver ions. The most appropriate solvent for silver ion impregnation on the surface of chi-SiG is methanol compared to other solvents. Tungsten lamp as the photo-irradiation, which is low cost and environmentally friendly has been proven effective for silver ion reduction, as shown by silver metal colloid UV-Vis surface plasmon resonance at 400-700 nm. Ag0-[chi-SiG] showed the antibacterial properties of inhibiting the growth Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli; then it provides the potential application for antibacterial filter material. According to the weight comparison between antibacterial standard and Ag content, then Ag0-[chi-SiG] has two and five times higher of exhibiting zone for each bacteria.
