Sylphium molecular ecology has a wide range of eDNA tests for both aquatic and terrestrial organisms. The eDNA tests offer the possibility to detect DNA of various organisms in water and feces samples with very high sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility. See section “How does it work?” for more information about the technique and how the procedure is at Sylphium for sampling, sending and reporting.
In addition to offering these tests in our own service lab, we also offer a large number of these tests as a kit. The eDNA analyses can then performed using these kits in a lab set up for eDNA analyzes. Sylphium molecular ecology provides support and courses for setting up an eDNA lab.
The table below shows for which organisms a test is available. The list will be expanded further in the short term. Is the species you are interested in not listed below? We develop the eDNA test for your target species for free. Please contact us without any obligation. See here for pricing of the tests or request a free quote.
