Description
Our Bat Dropping Collection Kit has been carefully designed to make DNA-based bat species ID as convenient to you as possible. You can choose to send samples to the laboratory by purchasing our kits or by using your own tubes and containers, however, in this case, please ensure that the consumables used are sterile. This kit can collect up to 6 sites or up to 6 suspected different species.
We have taken steps to reduce packaging waste associated with our bat dropping collection kits including removing redundant cardboard and plastic packaging associated with sampling a greater number of sites or when looking to identify more species.
