If your samples don’t arrive with us before your given analysis date, please be aware that this may delay your results.
Our analyses follow the Natural England protocol. Three types of results may be presented in our
reports:
Positive Results
A positive result means that eDNA from great crested newts was detected in the sample provided.
Negative Results
DNA from the species was not detected so no further sampling is required; we further test the DNA extract for PCR
inhibitors and degradation of the sample to ensure a conclusive result.
Inconclusive Results
On very rare occasions we will issue an inconclusive result. This is because we have not detected the presence of
great crested newt DNA in a sample, and controls show that the sample has been degraded (usually through poor
storage) or the test inhibited (usually by unexpected chemicals present in the sample). To enable a re-test to be
performed, another sample would need to be taken, although if the chemical composition of the water caused the
problem the retest may also give an inconclusive result. Please note that because the sample will have been fully
analysed, a standard charge of £179 (ex VAT) will apply.
