One-off studies
We can detect target species (e.g. endangered species) or conduct a broader biodiversity assessment based on samples from water, soil and air.
Continuous tracking
We build a biodiversity baseline for selected site and continuously monitor changes in biodiversity with actionable recommendations.
Research projects
We provide tailored research projects to explore possibilities of eDNA beyond current solutions.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is genetic material shed by organisms into their surroundings through skin cells, waste, mucus, or other biological traces. By collecting water, soil, or air samples, we can extract and analyze this DNA to detect species present in an environment without needing to capture or disturb them.
Using advanced sequencing technologies and bioinformatics, we identify species from tiny fragments of DNA, making eDNA a powerful tool for biodiversity monitoring, conservation, and environmental research. Fast, non-invasive, and highly sensitive, eDNA revolutionizes how we study ecosystems.
