Environmental DNA analysis

Why is environmental DNA analysis important?

Our environmental DNA analysis services help to identify and monitor certain types of species quickly and more cost-effectively, compared to other conventional surveying methods.

We are a highly experienced team of molecular biologists, based at a bespoke molecular biology laboratories in South Nottingham.

Our environmental DNA services

Bat species identification using eDNA (genotyping)

At our molecular biology laboratory, we can carry out DNA analysis (genotyping) on bat guano (droppings) to reliably identify bat species.

Crayfish eDNA testing

We use environmental DNA (eDNA) testing to confirm the presence or absence of crayfish species, as well as check for crayfish plague.

eDNA analysis for great crested newts

Rapid, cost-effective, and non-invasive testing to detect great crested newts. Results in 2–10 working days.
