Discover thousands of hard-to-detect species in a fraction of the time

Sequence the barcode of any fish using DNA captured on a simple swab. This harmless test allows for species identification of individual fish, and generation of a reference DNA sequence for building up local reference databases.

Confirm Atlantic herring presence in marine waters using this species-specific test. Herring is an economically and historically important fish, whose populations have been decimated as a result of over-exploitation.

Spot breakouts of the highly infectious fungal disease, crayfish plague, using this sensitive test

This is one of the rarest fish species in Great Britain and Ireland, largely found in deep, cold, glacial lakes, and is vulnerable to climate change and eutrophication. Confirm presence of Arctic char using this highly sensitive eDNA test.

Use eDNA for your great crested newt surveys with this simple, quick, and non-invasive test. You can be confident knowing we follow Natural England’s approved protocol (WC1067), ensuring our tests meet regulatory requirements for this protected species. Learn more here.

Monitor restorative efforts and reintroductions by documenting burbot presence with this test. eDNA analysis helps to detect the presence of burbot, despite their cryptic behaviour, making this a powerful monitoring tool.

Target great crested newts in non-regulatory contexts directly from our standard water filter kits using this test. This analysis extends the window in which you can conduct your surveys if results are not needed as part of regulatory requirements.

Distinguish the endangered and protected butternut tree from an unprotected hybrid by sending us a leaf, twig, or bud sample to analyse. This test is compliant with the Ontario Endangered Species Act (ESA 2007, S.O. 2007, c. 6), which affords protection to this species that would otherwise be difficult to distinguish from other walnut trees using non-genetic methods.

Detect presence of critically endangered European eels using this highly sensitive test. This species has declined by ~95% in the last 40 years across Europe. It is a UK Post-2010 Biodiversity Framework species threatened by habitat loss and degradation, artificial barriers, reductions in water quality, overfishing, disease and climate change.

Monitor redside dace with this highly sensitive, species-specific, eDNA test. Redside dace is an endangered fish species in Canada and is afforded the highest level of legal protection. In Ontario, detection of redside dace affords that legislative protections are maintained for a further 20 years.

Signal crayfish outcompete native species, carry the lethal crayfish plague, and cause bank erosion in some instances. Detect presence of the highly invasive signal crayfish using this sensitive, simple, and cost-effective test.

Detect presence of silver shiners, a protected species in Canada, using this simple, cost-effective, and non-invasive eDNA test.

Detect present of white-clawed crayfish, which are threatened and protected in the UK, using this highly sensitive test.

Lake sturgeon are a legally protected fish species in Canada and the United States and are routinely monitored for restoration purposes. Use our highly sensitive eDNA test as part of your biodiversity survey, to detect their presence without disturbing or harming individuals.

This species is recognized as one of the worst invasive species worldwide, impacting food webs and biogeochemistry. Detect presence of highly invasive zebra mussels using this species-specific test.

Blanding’s turtles are endangered and afforded full legal protection in Canada. This highly sensitive eDNA analysis can detect the presence of individuals belonging to either of its major lineages (St. Lawrence and Nova Scotia populations), and across all seasons, including winter hibernation.

Detect presence of invasive Dreissenid mussels in a waterbody. Dreissenidae is a genus including zebra mussels and quagga mussels. Combine with the species-specific test for zebra mussels to gain further insights.

Detect presence of brook trout, using this highly sensitive eDNA test, to inform management decisions. Brook trout is a species of primary management interest due not only to its position as a highly invasive competitor of native charr species in North America, but also because of its value as an indicator species for climate change.

Spot breakouts of the Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis strain of chytrid fungus, an infectious disease responsible for causing declines in amphibian populations worldwide.

Use this sensitive eDNA test to track brown trout establishment and range expansion, or for determining stocked population uptake for fishery maintenance. Results can inform on the impact of non-native recreational sport fishes.

Spot breakouts of the Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans strain of chytrid fungus, an infectious disease responsible for causing declines in amphibian populations worldwide.

Use this test to detect presence of rainbow trout for a variety of management purposes including managing endangered fish populations, determining stocked population uptake for fishery maintenance, and monitoring range expansions of invasive populations.

Use this test to detect Chinese mitten crabs, which are listed as one of the world’s 100 worst invasive species due to the economic and ecological damage they inflict. The highly sensitive nature of this analysis makes it perfect for detecting populations and range expansions.

Detect presence of round whitefish, which are a useful indicator species of habitat disturbance, using this species-specific test. eDNA testing can be a useful tool for determining spawning success in spawning areas adjacent to power stations, to ensure environmental compliance of generators.
