Product info

All items in an order will be processed and insights delivered together. If you need some items to have insights delivered separately, please place multiple orders.

All items in an order can be shipped to only one location. If some items need to be shipped to a different location, please place a separate order for these items. (These items will be reported separately, as they are part of a separate order.)

Kit contents

eDNA collection, storage and safe transport. Your kit contains all you need to collect*, store and safely transport your eDNA sample.
(*Our tissue kits do not include the nets or traps you may wish to use to catch the organisms the kit is designed to contain.)

Preservation buffer (which helps to preserve and protect the eDNA).

One pair of gloves. If two or more people are using one kit, please purchase more sets of gloves (not available from NatureMetrics).

Sterile bags for transporting your samples.

For more info on all our kits, visit our kits page.

Insights

For each test purchased, you will receive one set of insights.

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.

Insights formats for multi-species tests and single-species tests are very different.
For more info on insights, and to see examples of each, please visit our insights page.

Important info

One kit = one sample = one location. Kits can be used in one location only. Only one single latitude / longitude can be assigned to each kit.

Kits must be used within 12 months of purchase. After 12 months the preservation buffer can degrade. If you have aquatic kits, you can purchase replacement preservation buffer from us (not available from this store). To purchase, please contact us.
