Our Bat Species ID service is currently unavailable. Please keep an eye on our website for updates.
DNA analysis is a powerful tool for surveying bats without disturbing or capturing them. Our bat species ID testing service is made possible by using sophisticated molecular genetic techniques to analyse the DNA found in guano (bat faeces) to accurately and cost-effectively identify bat species.
Instructions
If you would like us to send out a free sampling kit, please email sales@chxout.com.
Useful notes:
- We recommend collecting at least five droppings where possible.
- It is a good idea to collect a couple extra to keep back in case of postage problems.
- Please try to keep the individual droppings in one piece.
- The more recent and more intact the sample, the better.
- If you suspect multiple species, please use one container per pellet/dropping.
When your sample arrives with us, you will receive an email to confirm sample receipt and expected due date.
We do not operate on weekends or bank holidays and the day your sample is logged at our laboratory is considered “day 0.”
Results are provided within the turnaround time chosen by email with a report as a PDF attachment.
