TaxaScreen® Detection Panels
We’ve brought together some of our most popular qPCR species tests into useful panels.
If the species in a particular panel aren’t quite what you need then our custom panel test is available.
TaxaScreen® Invasive Fish Detection Panel
TaxaScreen® Migratory Fish Monitoring Panel
TaxaScreen® Freshwater Early-Warning Panel
TaxaScreen® Mammal Monitoring Panel
TaxaScreen® Amphibian Disease Panel
TaxaScreen® Crayfish Conservation Panel
Three eDNA methods.
One lab.
Targeted species detection
Species-specific assays with defined sensitivity thresholds. The right tool when you have a known target and need a defensible positive/negative result for a licence or impact assessment.
TYPICAL USES
- Great crested newt surveys
- Invasive species screening
- Pathogen detection
- Regulatory compliance reporting
Community-level detection
Amplify and sequence a broad taxonomic marker across an entire water sample to recover the full detectable assemblage. No target list is required; discover what’s present, not just confirm what you expected.
TYPICAL USES
- Baseline biodiversity surveys
- Multi-taxa WFD monitoring
- Habitat quality assessment
- Early-warning invasive screening
Population-level resolution
Full mitochondrial genome sequencing for haplotype resolution, provenance assignment, and population structure analysis. Goes beyond detection to ask where an organism came from and how populations connect.
TYPICAL USES
- White-clawed crayfish ark sites
- Salmon stock identification
- Conservation genetics
- Invasive pathway tracing
Did you know?
Many eDNA laboratories only offer qPCR detection services. If your project requires metabarcoding or mitogenome sequencing, you're typically coordinating two or three seperate providers. Taxa Genomics runs all three methods in-house, on the same sample, with a single chain of custody and results portal.
