Environmental DNA Sampling Kits
eDNA sampling involves a simple, step-by-step process for collecting genetic material from the environment.
We can analyse various sample types. We have developed eDNA sampling kits that facilitate effective collection water, soil and scat sampling and more recently sediment and air. For each project, we supply the necessary sampling kits, training and resources to ensure you can easily and effectively collect your samples.
Sampling is safe and non-invasive, minimising OH&S risks and environmental disturbance
Samples can be collected swiftly, resulting in rapid surveys that save time, money and resources in the field.
With minimal training, anyone can perform eDNA sampling. It is undertaken following a quick training session with easy step-by-step instructions.
Water eDNA kit
For eDNA sampling in freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. Aquatic ecosystems are perfect for monitoring due to the movement of DNA, offering valuable insights into the species present. We extract the eDNA and analyse them for species, including native and invasive fish, amphibians, decapods, mammals, invertebrates and more.
Each kit contains:
- Recyclable pouch with site label and QR instructions
- Latex gloves
- Disposable syringe
- Disc filter unit (number dependent on replicates per site)
- Preservative solution
Soil eDNA Kit
For eDNA sampling in terrestrial ecosystems. Uncover hidden biodiversity from soil samples. Soils host complex ecosystems that include a variety of bacteria, fungi, plants, invertebrates and animals. We recommend these kits if need to understand indicators of soil health and quality or determine changes in soil community composition.
Each kit contains:
- Recyclable pouch with site label and QR instructions
- Latex gloves
- Falcon tube (s) (number dependent on replicates per site)
- Soil mixing bag
- Preservative solution (if required)
Scat & Diet eDNA kit
For eDNA species identification, monitoring and diet analysis. Scats contain an abundance of genetic clues and swabbing of scats provide a quick and effective way to capture DNA from the scat. With these samples we can help identify host species, understand host diet, or provide an innovative survey method to detect species in a region if they have been predator prey.
Each kit contains:
- Recyclable pouch with site label and QR instructions
- Latex gloves
- Swab tubes
- Preservative solution
