Environmental DNA (eDNA) is genetic material that organisms shed as they move through, interact with, and inhabit their environment. By collecting and analysing this DNA from sources like waterways, we can gain valuable insights into species distribution across time and space, monitor biosecurity threats more effectively, and track changes in ecosystem health with greater sensitivity.

Unlike traditional survey methods, eDNA monitoring doesn’t require capturing or visually identifying every organism. This makes it faster, safer, and more cost-effective—allowing for broader and deeper environmental assessments.

A small sample—just a cup or two of water—can reveal the presence of thousands of species, including fish, macroinvertebrates, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, plants, fungi, protists, bacteria, and more.

How it works

Understanding what’s in your stream is simple with Wilderlab. Just order a kit, collect your sample, and send it back. Our lab uses cutting-edge environmental DNA (eDNA) technology to identify every organism in your sample — from bacteria to birds. Within days, your results are ready to view online, complete with an interactive map that brings your local ecosystem to life.

Order a kit

Get started by ordering your Wilderlab eDNA collection kit online. Everything you need for sampling is included.

Collect and submit your sample

Collect your sample following our online instructions, then submit your sample and send it to the lab.

Receive your results and explore the map

Once your sample is analysed, you’ll receive a detailed report of all the organisms detected — and see your data visualised on the interactive eDNA map.

Who is it for?

Government Agencies

Ideal for environmental protection authorities and regulatory bodies monitoring biodiversity, ecosystem health, and biosecurity threats at scale.

Environmental Consultants

A powerful tool for consultants conducting environmental assessments, impact studies, and ongoing site monitoring with greater accuracy and efficiency.

Universities and Research Institutions

Supports academic research in ecology, conservation biology, and environmental science—providing non-invasive data collection for large-scale studies.

Resource-Based Industries (Mining, Oil & Gas)

Helps industries meet environmental compliance requirements and monitor the impact of operations on surrounding ecosystems in a cost-effective and non-disruptive way.

Community Groups and Educators
Engages citizen scientists, schools, and local conservation groups in accessible, real-world environmental monitoring—promoting awareness and action.
