Restoring Water Quality & Aquatic Ecosystems
​
We provide catchment-wide eDNA services that traces bacteria sources and reveals aquatic biodiversity to enable data-driven management.
The need to uncover the sources and impact of freshwater pollution has never been greater. ​ The power of eDNA makes it possible to get critical information more efficiently than ever before.​
Whether you are a catchment manager, water quality lead, NGO or water company, Trace Biomonitoring puts cutting-edge molecular molecular tools in your hands to help equip you with as much information on your water body as possible.
Our Services
Bacterial Pollution
​
This service determines whole microbial communities and makes it possible to determine the distribution of organic pollution in a water body, & from what source it originates. We also offer the the ability to measure the amount of bacterial species such as e-coli.
​
Water Health Assessment
​
Diatoms are one of the most sensitive species to fresh water health degradation. We can assess the impact of water pollution on water body health and water quality using single-celled algae called diatoms. When using health indices, this is a powerful tool to help you understand the status of your catchment.
Vertebrate Biodiversity
​
If you need a biodiversity assessment of your water body or coastal area this is the service for you. assesses the diversity of fish, mammals, birds, and other vertebrates living in and around your water body. Understanding the biodiversity in and around your catchment can help you target management.
Regardless of type of catchment or budget, the Trace team will work with you to design a project that will provide powerful insight into the health of your catchment. The cost of our services and kits decreases with the increasing number of samples your project requires - the more you order the lower the price per kit!

Powerful Water Monitoring
The need to understand the sources and impact of freshwater pollution has never been greater. ​ The power of DNA makes it possible to get critical information more efficiently than ever before.​ Trace Biomonitoring puts cutting-edge molecular molecular tools in your hands.
Cost Effective
Our kits collect a DNA sample, which can be used to analyses multiple groups of organisms, in a matter of minutes. This means that it is possible to collect significantly more samples per unit effort than using most traditional methods. The savings generated on staff time make catchment scale sampling campaigns a reality.
Faster Results = Faster Action
Information and data is powerful. Using our Bacti, Phyta and Verti-Trace kits will provide you with the data you need to inform action in your waterbody without having to spend months making sense of analyses. Faster tests for faster action.
User Friendly and Scalable
Our are kits are optimised for use by "non-experts" making them especially well suited for use in citizen science-led monitoring campaigns. Our team of professionals is on passionate about making molecular monitoring accessible to everyone.
