Fast and reliable species identification

• Vertebrates (fishes, amphibians etc.), invertebrates (molluscs, insects etc.)
• Pests and parasites
• Plants, algae and fungi
• Early developmental stages (eggs, larvae etc.)
• Parts of organisms (tissues, skin, hair, blood, feathers etc.)
• Food (fish products etc.)

Species composition of bulk samples

• Zoo- and phytoplankton
• Benthic and infaunal communities
• Faeces
• Gut contents, bird pellets
  
• Samples from malaise and pitfall traps
• Processed food (e.g.: cans)

Detection of organisms from water (aquatic and marine), soil and sediment samples

• Detection of target species (e.g.: protected or invasive species)
• Detection of species composition for selected groups (e.g: amphibians, fishes, dragonflies etc.)
• Analysis of multicellular community composition

Genotyping methods

• SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) detection and analysis
• Microsatellite Marker Analysis: Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR), Short Tandem Repeats (STR), Inter-Simple Sequence repeat (ISSR)
• Mitochondrial Sequencing

Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization — Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS)

• rapid and cost-efficient species identification
• discrimination of larval stages and sexes
