Precision Biomonitoring Launches TripleLockTM a Revolutionary DNA Survey Service To Improve Environmental Assessments
GUELPH, Ontario (PRWEB) November 06, 2018 -- Precision Biomonitoring, leaders in the environmental DNA (eDNA) detection of organisms for biomonitoring surveys, launches TripleLockTM technology, a commercially available eDNA solution that provides more accurate detection of species, more rapidly, and at a lower cost in comparison to conventional methods based on visual identification of captured specimens.
In an industry when time is of the essence, environmental professionals and their clients are actively seeking accurate, quick and low-cost biomonitoring surveys of invasive, keystone and at-risk species. Precision Biomonitoring is proud to offer TripleLockTM, the latest development in biomonitoring technology, with methodology and testing that has been rigorously developed and validated. TripleLockTM environmental biomonitoring surveys allow for traces of DNA shed by organisms through bodily fluids, skin cells and other excretions, to be detected in water samples without having to directly collect organisms themselves. Field test eDNA results can be uploaded in real time, and quickly made available on a secure server to be accessed by clients anywhere, anytime.
“eDNA detection makes determination of presence or absence of target species more rapid, with less risk of errors. It also lowers the cost of surveys because less time is spent trying to capture rare endangered species. We anticipate that our breakthrough solution will complement or replace conventional methods in many types of biomonitoring surveys. With TripleLockTM, our goal is to bring to the environmental consulting industry advanced molecular surveys that will help to obtain the permits needed for their clients,” states Dr. Mario Thomas, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder, Precision Biomonitoring. “With our novel molecular survey solution, environmental professionals can now access rigorously developed and validated DNA tests, and survey methods they can trust. And because we conduct the eDNA surveys right in the field, there is no need to ship samples to a distant lab with the risk of delays and loss of sample integrity. We’re thrilled to bring TripleLockTM to market and see how eDNA survey services will make a difference for our customers.”
