Which Tests (Assays) Are Available?

Our eDNA kits and tests provide an unrivalled picture of a site’s biodiversity, no matter how hard-to-detect. It's currently the most accurate and scalable solution for site-level biodiversity insights. The biggest benefits are;

Find hard to detect species Discover rare, elusive and cryptic species, even if you can’t see them.

Collect more data with fewer samples Take samples in just 10 min and identify hundreds of species from a simple sample.

Increase accuracy and consistency Eliminate errors from visual identification and deliver standardised, repeatable results every time.

Improve health and safety Reduce health and safety concerns by minimizing the time your teams need spend in the field.
