Turbid filter (5.0 µm): For high-turbidity environments such as wetlands, lakes with suspended algae, or other water bodies with lots of organic matter.

Our syringe samplers are manual filtration-based kits which are compact and lightweight. Using a large barrel syringe, water is pushed through a combination of filters to capture eDNA material from a liter of water.
Turbid filter (5.0 µm): For high-turbidity environments such as wetlands, lakes with suspended algae, or other water bodies with lots of organic matter.
*Both filters available in 6-replicate kits.
Passive samplers get deployed in flowing water for a 24-48 hour period, requiring two visits to a site to collect your sample. Designed to capture a larger window of biological activity, making them more suited for detecting terrestrial species such as birds and mammals.
Single use, compact kit, best suited for sampling smaller streams and wadable rivers.
Suited for higher replicate sampling and can be used in both wadable and non-wadable rivers. The manifold-mount is designed to be reusable and can house up to six replicate filter pods.
Our soil/scat/specimen kit makes sampling easy. Just put a small amount of material into a Falcon tube, top with boiling water, and syringe the slurry through a filter. Our kit enables genetic sequencing of soils, plants, animals, scats, and stomach contents.
Specimen sampling can be applied to a wide range of research areas – it supports projects like:
Just swab the surface, place the swab into the preservative tube, snap off the excess stick, and seal everything in the sample bag.
Designed to detect the presence of lizards and other small reptiles by collecting trace DNA left behind as they move through a purpose-built tunnel.
While we fully recommend using Wilderlab kits to ensure the highest standards of quality, traceability, and affordability, we understand this is not always possible. We do accept samples collected using non-Wilderlab kits, provided they meet the following criteria:
Extracts (Plate Form Only) — Extracts are permitted only in plate format and must meet specific preparation and shipping requirements to be accepted.
NOTE: All non-Wilderlab samples must be submitted with a completed sample manifest to ensure accurate processing and chain-of-custody tracking
