Accessing your data and what to expect

All your insights are available from the NatureMetrics Intelligence Platform each order placed, you’ll receive one set of insights per test purchased.
e.g. if you buy x5 ‘vertebrate + fish (freshwater)’, you will receive two sets of insights, one with all the vertebrate results from the 5 samples, and another, separate set of insights, for all the fish results from the 5 samples. 


The Insights Reports

Depending on whether you purchased Multi-species or single species tests, your insights reports will look a little different. Here is what to expect: 


Single-Species (qPCR) Targeted

Each set of single-species (qPCR) insights contains:
PDF in the NatureMetrics Intelligence Platform, detailing your detection results for one specific species:

  • Positive (target species detected)
  • Negative (target species not detected), or
  • Inconclusive (target species not detected, but this could be a false negative due to the sample not passing QC)

Turnaround: As little as 10 working days from sample receipt to report

Multi-Species (Metabarcoding) Community Screening

Each set of multi-species (metabarcoding) insights includes:

  • Interactive map and data visualizations powered by the NatureMetrics Intelligence Platform, plus
  • Excel data table for each test (assay) containing: DNA sequences, taxonomic details, metrics and QC info
  • Content is optimised for each test: Please see table of contents below for details of the metrics included in the insights for your tests (assays).

Turnaround: From sample receipt to report on the platform. Standard 8 weeks. Fast-track 4-6 weeks

Turnaround times are calculated from receipt of your completed Sample Manifest and all samples included in your order.We start processing your samples when your Sample Manifest is completed in full. Please familiarize yourself with the Sample Manifest before taking your samples in the field.
