How it works

One kit, four steps.

  1. 01

    Collect

    Your field staff collect water or soil samples using site-ready kits and standardized protocols.

  2. 02

    Send

    Prepaid return mailers keep chain of custody simple, whether you ship one site or a full season.

  3. 03

    Analyze

    Our lab runs eDNA metabarcoding or targeted qPCR to identify the species present.

  4. 04

    Explore

    Results arrive in your Field Journal, ready for reports, permits, grant updates and board meetings.

Sample instructions

Validated procedures & methodology

Science you can defend, data you can report.

Every EnviroCoder survey follows standardized, peer-reviewed workflows — from sterile field collection through extraction, amplification, sequencing and bioinformatics. Controls, documentation and reference-database matching are built into each step, so your results hold up in permit applications, management plans, grant reports and regulatory review.

Peer-reviewed assays

eDNA metabarcoding with established, published primer sets and species-targeted qPCR assays chosen for sensitivity and specificity to your target taxa.

Standardized field protocols

Sterile, single-use collection kits and step-by-step instructions minimize contamination and keep sampling consistent across sites, crews and seasons.

QA/QC at every step

Field blanks, extraction blanks and PCR negative and positive controls run with every batch, so detections are distinguishable from noise.

Documented chain of custody

Unique sample IDs, tracked return mailers and collection records link every result back to its site, date and collector.

Curated reference matching

Sequences are matched against curated reference libraries with conservative confidence thresholds before a species is reported.

Report-ready deliverables

Species lists, relative abundance scores and exportable data formatted for management plans, permits, grants and stakeholder reporting.

Programs

Scaled to the way your organization works.

Single-site survey

A one-time baseline or screening for a property, permit or project area.

Seasonal monitoring

Repeat sampling across seasons to track change, invasives and outcomes.

Multi-site & multi-year

Program contracts across many properties or projects with volume pricing.

Who we work with

Built for conservation organizations and environmental consultants.

BIODIVERSITY MONITORING

Baseline and track biodiversity across every property.

Land trusts, conservancies, natural areas and state DNRs can document species, catch invasives early and measure stewardship outcomes over time.

WATERSHED MANAGEMENT

Survey data for agencies and consultants.

Fish and wildlife agencies and environmental and engineering firms can screen for target and protected species, support permitting and assessments, and scale sampling across projects.

Common questions

Questions from program managers and project leads.

Do our field staff need special training or lab equipment?+

No. Each kit includes standardized collection protocols, so seasonal staff, volunteers or consultants can sample consistently.

Should we choose eDNA metabarcoding or targeted qPCR?+

Metabarcoding detects many species at once for baselines and biodiversity surveys. qPCR targets specific species, such as invasives or protected species, with volume pricing for larger projects.

How are results delivered to our team?+

Results appear in your Field Journal, organized by site and survey, ready to reference in reports, grant updates and client deliverables.

Can you support multi-site or multi-season programs?+

Yes. Tell us about your sites, target species and timelines, and we'll scope a sampling plan and quote for your organization or client.
