EnviroDNA

EnviroDNA provides leading solutions for innovative DNA-based wildlife surveys and biodiversity monitoring. The team of scientists detect wildlife by finding traces of their DNA left behind in environmental samples such as water from rivers and wetlands. This is called environmental DNA (eDNA). eDNA is revolutionising how environmental professionals detect native and invasive wildlife. The first step to capturing an eDNA sample is to filter water ready for genetic analysis in the lab. EnviroDNA has formed a partnership with Smith-Root Inc. as an exclusive distributor of state-of-the-art eDNA filtering and sampling equipment. This partnership will enable Australian and New Zealand environmental professionals to easily access world-class sampling solutions. Managing Director of EnviroDNA, Helen Barclay, notes that it's a partnership that will help the adoption of eDNA technology in important industries like biosecurity and conservation. "Despite the ever-increasing number of organisations using eDNA, we are still in the early adoption phase of this technology. The fact that a world leading aquatic research firm has developed eDNA sampling systems is a sign to industry that this technology is relevant right now for wildlife detection and monitoring.
