In the past, we studied ecosystems by conducing ecological surveys. Tractional survey methods rely on visual, auditory, or indirect evidence to identify the species present in a habitat. However, species that are highly sensitive, emit minimal calls, or leave no visible traces can go undetected using these
conventional methods, Consequently, detailed ecological surveys may underestimate biodiversity and species richness.
Our eDNA analysis services otter a comprehensive suite of laboratory tests tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients. From targeted species detection to biodiversity assessments and environmental impact evaluations, our advanced methodologies and cutting-edge technologies provide accurate and reliable insights into ecological communities. Below, we provide an overview o our eDNA analysis services, each designed to deliver actionable data and support informed decision-making in environmental research and conservation.
We utilise state-of-the-art methodologies, advanced technologies, and rigorous quality assurance processes to ensure the accuracy and reliability of our eDNA analyses. Here, we provide an overview of the methodologies, technologies, and quality assurance processes that drive our quality services
