Our offer

eDNA analyses &
bioinformatic analyses
We offer
biodiversity analyses
from soil or sediments for different taxonomic groups and
diet analyses
from feces or stomach contents.
We also establish your reference databases.
We design your customised primers
and propose
bioinformatic analyses (metabarcoding Illumina) and
statistical analysis.

Research &
Development
You wish to work from new matrices,
on other taxonomic groups
or develop
new techniques?



Field expeditions
We propose to carry out the
DNA sampling
in the field in a reliable and standardized
way or to train you to do it.
We can also perform the DNA extraction
directly
in the field!

Teaching
For students and researchers
in ecology and
environment :
-
A lecture course on eDNA (potential, limits, advanges)
-
A practical work with a case study and field sampling
-
A tutorial with bioinformatics analysis and interpretation of the results

Sampling


-
Do it yourself: You carry out the sampling after a training that we offer, or by following a protocol that we provide.
-
By ARGALY :We manage the entire sampling (strategy, shipping, sampling)
-
From January 2021: Argaly sells the Waterra water filtration capsules (600 m2 filter, 0,45uM pore diameter). Learn more about the capsules
