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.
EnviroDNA pioneered the commercial delivery of eDNA monitoring in Australia. This approach enables rapid and accurate measurement of species, biodiversity and environmental change. Today, we lead eDNA sampling, testing and other eDNA research solutions.
Founded in 2016 by Dr Andrew Weeks and Dr Paul Umina, the pair recognised the potential of this technology to empower improved environmental decision-making. Transforming research into practical solutions, EnviroDNA assists a broad range of objectives spanning biodiversity conservation, impact assessments, resource management, pollution tracking, regenerative agriculture and more.
With a diverse team of Australian-based experts, we partner with clients to sharpen the lens on biodiversity and fill critical knowledge gaps. 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. By working together, we can mobilise eDNA technology to 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 enables fast, accurate, and non-invasive monitoring of biodiversity by extracting genetic material from samples such as water, soil, scat and air. Unlike traditional methods that often rely on direct observation of species, eDNA captures genetic data from the environment.
Our solutions provide quantifiable insights into species, biodiversity and environmental change. This helps our clients assess understand species distribution and assess ecosystem health. Transforming nature into actionable and scalable data, empowers 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 are equipped with advanced DNA and automation technology. This enables high sample processing capacity while ensuring precision and rigorous quality control.
We have invested in four specialised eDNA laboratory areas. Each of lab areas are tailored to a specific stage of sample processing. Our facilities feature DNA sequencing machines, contamination-free zones and controlled airflow systems to maintain exceptional efficiency and quality throughout the process.
