And we can help guide you on selecting the best type of eDNA sampling kit that will ensure optimal results. We are the only company to have developed large-volume eDNA sampling methods that ensure collected samples are appropriate to the scale of the environment being studied, maximising the probability of eDNA capture and accurate species detections. ![Applied Genomics, eDNA, biodiversity, Aerial View of Amazon River in Belem do Para, Brazil](https://appliedgenomics.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Aerial%20View%20of%20Amazon%20River%20in%20Belem%20do%20Para%2c%20Brazil.jpeg?width=1000&height=562&name=Aerial%20View%20of%20Amazon%20River%20in%20Belem%20do%20Para%2c%20Brazil.jpeg "Applied Genomics, eDNA, biodiversity, Aerial View of Amazon River in Belem do Para, Brazil") ![Applied Genomics, eDNA, biodiversity, Aquaculture fish farm scenery](https://appliedgenomics.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/header-aquaculture-offset-1.jpg?width=2000&height=960&name=header-aquaculture-offset-1.jpg "Applied Genomics, eDNA, biodiversity, Aquaculture fish farm scenery") ### Step 3:  ANALYSE Integrating our state-of-the-art laboratory technologies with advanced bioinformatics pipelines and rigorous quality assurance, we will provide you with biodiversity data that transcends the limitations of conventional survey methods. Our ethos is anchored in delivering unparalleled precision in biodiversity monitoring and genetic identification services. With a commitment to innovation, we specialise in eDNA analysis for diverse ecosystems, ranging from the deepest seas to remote terrestrial habitats. ### Step 4:  INSIGHTS Biodiversity is the fundamental unit of ecosystems. It is a measure of its resilience, function and natural capital value. These factors underpin our economic systems and wellbeing. Interpretation of our eDNA analyses will enable you to contextualise biodiversity data within the bigger picture. We can deliver data-driven insights to de-risk nature-aligned investment decisions, take better account of natural capital, increase precision of sustainability disclosures and improve transparency in biodiversity reporting. ![Applied Genomics, eDNA, biodiversity, Scenic view of whale and mountains](https://appliedgenomics.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/cat_whale-watching_banner.jpg?width=1600&height=800&name=cat_whale-watching_banner.jpg "Applied Genomics, eDNA, biodiversity, Scenic view of whale and mountains") --- ## Find out more about our services here: [Our Services](https://appliedgenomics.co.uk/services?hsLang=en) #### Our team is an extension of yours.
