Leading environmental DNA and biodiversity intelligence solutions.
We're dedicated to helping you make smarter decisions for nature.
Our story: from research roots to impactful commercial application.
Deeper, faster and scalable insights are helping our clients better understand and manage complex ecosystems. EnviroDNA pioneered the commercial delivery of eDNA biodiversity monitoring in Australia.
Founded in 2016 by Dr Andrew Weeks and Dr Paul Umina, the pair spearheaded this technology in Australia, transforming research into practical solutions and recognising its potential to empower decision-making across biodiversity conservation, impact assessments, resource management, pollution tracking, regenerative agriculture and more.
Today with a diverse team of Australian-based experts, we partner closely with clients to deliver our innovative solutions. As leaders in this approach, we guarantee scientific excellence and client service in every project to ensure the best possible outcomes and impact of the data. We believe that working together we can mobilise eDNA technology and help create nature-positive solutions for our planet.
Our mission
Track and understand life on earth for improved decision making using environmental DNA.
Our vision
A world where human impacts are sustainably managed.
Our technology: why eDNA?
eDNA biodiversity monitoring lets you unlock the diversity of life from simple environmental samples. With rapid, sensitive analysis, these solutions provide faster, more accurate and less invasive methods for monitoring ecosystems and detecting threatened species. Unlike traditional methods that rely on direct observation, eDNA captures genetic material from the environment.
This approach is quantifiable and delivers insights into wildlife abundance, threatened species distribution and the balance between native and invasive species. With these insights, you can assess ecosystem health and transform nature into scalable data, empowering more informed decision-making at both site and landscape levels.
Leverage eDNA to unlock these key advantages:
- Rapid time-to-insight
- Less time spent in the field
- Identify species anytime, day or night
- User-friendly sampling and accessible for all
- Integration with cultural knowledge
- Cost-effective monitoring at scale
All samples are processed in state-of-the-art facilities, purpose-built for eDNA analysis.
Our facilities
Our state-of-the-art laboratories, equipped with advanced DNA and automation technology, enable high sample processing capacity while ensuring precision and rigorous quality control.
We have invested in four specialised eDNA laboratory areas, each tailored to a specific stage of sample processing. These facilities feature DNA sequencing machines, contamination-free zones and controlled airflow systems to maintain exceptional efficiency and quality throughout the process
