Description

Our Filter eDNA Collection Kit allows for the collection of a water sample from a watercourse such as pond, stream or river to identify the presence of a specific or multiple specific target species. Please check with us first to confirm that your chosen target species is possible to detect via eDNA in our laboratory.

This kit should not be used for Great Crested Newts in accordance with current Natural England backed guidelines. Please use our GCN eDNA Kit for sampling GCN eDNA.

The cost of analysis is invoiced to your account once the results are made available. Note: for the first order on new customer accounts the cost of analysis is required to be paid upfront.

Each kit can be used to detect up to four species from one site. To test for more than four species, please use multiple kits. Check out our eDNA samples section of our other species page to see what species we can test for or get in touch if your target species is not listed.
