Our sampling kits

We provide sterile sample kits for most environments. We have designed these kits with the field surveyor in mind, they are lightweight, portable and have been used by community scientists, ecologists and eDNA practitioners for sampling in a range of aquatic and terrestrial environments.

If our kits aren’t the best method to collect your sample we’ll work with you to devise something better, that is sterile, standardised and straightforward to safely preserve the eDNA.

“Based on recommendations from others, the Somerset Wildlife Trust let a contract for an extensive eel DNA survey to the eDNA Consultancy […] what particularly struck us was Laura's enthusiasm and clear enjoyment of her work. The Somerset Wildlife Trust would have no hesitation in recommending The eDNA Consultancy with regard to carrying out similar work.”

Testimonials

“I was so lucky to work alongside Laura, who taught me everything I needed to know to develop my work. She had the patience to walk me through the techniques without letting me get sidetracked by the imposter pressure an ecologist feels when they walk into a lab. I will forever be grateful.”
