About SureScreen Scientifics
Our story

Our story

The story of SureScreen Scientifics begins with the sponsorship and development of an eDNA-based tool for the conservation of the white-clawed crayfish, an endangered and protected species under UK legislation. From these small beginnings, offering only a handful of eDNA-based services, SureScreen Scientifics has continually invested in research and development, driven by a desire to expand our services for the betterment of nature. Today, we offer a wide variety of molecular ecology services, covering great crested newts, water voles, bats and freshwater pearl mussels, to name just a few.

Progress of environmental DNA

These are exciting times. In less than ten years, thousands of published papers have included eDNA in their titles, and environmental DNA is no longer limited to water samples alone. Increasingly, research is exploring alternative sample types, including spider webs and even filtered air.

SureScreen Scientifics remains at the forefront of molecular ecology. We recently collaborated with the University of Sheffield and Nottingham Trent University to develop a new assay that enables us to confirm the presence of water voles through eDNA, a UK first.
