We provide detailed instructions along with our prepared forms. Depending on your needs, we also provide collection kits that include sterile swabs for safe and effective sample collection.

Due to the need to maintain appropriate sampling conditions that minimize the risk of contamination, we send a trained sampler from our laboratory. This solution is not only more precise, but also facilitates the logistics of the entire process. After consultation, it is also possible for the Client to independently collect an environmental sample at their own risk, in accordance with the guidelines provided.

The sample should be delivered to the laboratory within 24 hours of collection, refrigerated (4°C). It is recommended that the sample be shipped so that it reaches the laboratory between Monday and Thursday.

Yes, eDNA is a very effective method for detecting rare, difficult to observe and protected species. Additionally, the use of eDNA analysis allows for obtaining data on the presence of species in various stages of their life, including forms that are difficult to identify in the field.

No, eDNA analysis is not limited to water. It can also be performed on samples from soil, air, honey, and feces.

eDNA offers numerous advantages over traditional monitoring methods, which are time-consuming, expensive, and less accurate. With eDNA, it is possible to detect species that are difficult to capture using traditional methods. Additionally, the analysis process is faster and cheaper, and the method itself is non-invasive, minimizing the impact on the environment. eDNA also enables the monitoring of larger areas in a shorter time, which increases the efficiency and precision of the results.

Yes, the results of eDNA analysis are comparable to traditional methods, and in many cases the eDNA method is more sensitive and precise, allowing the detection of species that are difficult to observe using traditional methods (electrofishing, gillnets).

The price of the service is determined individually, because it depends on many factors, such as the number of species to be detected, the type of environment in which the monitoring is carried out, the location and the size of the area to be examined. Additionally, the price may depend on the specificity of the sample, the number of samples to be analyzed and the requirements for the time of completion. Each order is analyzed in detail to adapt the offer to the client’s needs, while ensuring cost optimization and the highest quality of service.

We routinely detect fish, amphibians, and reptiles. Please contact us to learn how we can assist you in the detection of specific species or other groups of organisms.
