SPYGEN has developed an DNA-based innovative approach for studying biological diversity (animal, plant and microorganism species) in the environment (water, soil) or in complex substrates (food products, cosmetics, feces, etc.). This method can also be used to identify species from biological samples (fragments of plants, of skin, etc.).

Presentation of company's activity
1. Ecological analysis
The method developed by SPYGEN enables the detection of aquatic and semi-aquatic species from a simple water sample by analyzing the DNA released by organisms into the environment (environmental DNA - eDNA). This technique has no impact on the ecosystem and offers unequalled performance. It is particularly suited to the monitoring of rare and/or discreet species.
2. Authenticity & traceability checks
With the methods developed by SPYGEN it is possible to determine the composition of a processed product (animal, plant and micro-organism species) by analyzing the fragments of DNA present in the sample. This innovative method can also be used on biological samples (fragments of plants, of skin, etc.) to check the authenticity of a species.
3. Diet analysis
The method developed by SPYGEN is based on the analysis of feces or stomach contents. It uses the fragments of DNA present in a sample to identify the plant and/or animal species ingested.
