I am interested to know about the market of private companies offering analysis of environmental DNA for any organism. Please add website links in your responses, so others can learn of these services.
I've been wondering about this myself, having heard of a couple. I know of Spygen's services (http://www.spygen.com/services-and-products/edna-barcoding-analyses/) and very recently heard about the backpack filtration system offered by Smith-Root (http://www.smith-root.com/edna) though I'm not sure that the latter is what you had in mind for companies that offer services for the analysis of eDNA.
AquaBiota Solutions offer eDNA services. These include sample collection in the field, eDNA extraction and metabarcoding and bioinfirmatics. The two latter ones in close collaboration with Nature Metrics in the UK. We also offer data interpretation and connectivity analyses by highly specialised GIS and ecology professionals. We have completed a large number of surveys and have ongoing surveys covering fish, amphibians, whales and zoonotic diseases. Furthermore we focus on eDNA in snow detecting mammal individuals.
Or you can isolate the eDNA with the Biomeme M1 eDNA extraction kit and run your samples on the mobile qPCR machine! Check this out: https://biomeme.com/
Scientific spinoff company of the DNA barcoding projects ran at the Bavarian State Collection of Zoology in Munich - AIM - Adcanved Identification Methods GmbH (www.aimethods-lab.com) // mainly focussing on terrestrial biodiversity assessments (e.g. deriving from malaise traps).
I recently found the question from your side of companies offering eDNA analysis. May I ask you to add our newly founded company to your list? Many thanks!
In Canada, Bureau Veritas (formerly Maxxam) provides commercial targeted species eDNA lab services for ~15 validated species, and collaborates for new species and applications
