Bat Species Identification from Droppings

Reliable DNA testing for accurate bat species identification

Bat droppings contain traces of DNA that can be used to accurately identify the species present at a site. At Taxa Genomics, we provide a fast, non-invasive way to determine bat species using molecular analysis of droppings, supporting ecology surveys, planning applications, and conservation projects.

Features

Why choose DNA analysis of bat droppings?

Non-invasive: No need to disturb bats during roost checks
Accurate and sensitive: Our service detects mixed samples and easily determines all the species present

Mixed Species Analysis as Standard

Unlike some proviers, we include mixed-species analysis as standard. This means that if multiple species are present in a sample, they will all be reported in your results. No hidden costs or extra charges.
