From field to data: reliable, integrated sample collection and analysis

DArT’s metagenomics service is built on a robust, field-tested workflow that ensures every soil and plant sample delivers maximum insight. Our approach integrates advanced sample preservation, digital data capture, and high-throughput analysis—empowering plant breeders, farmers, and researchers to make data-driven decisions with confidence.

Field-proven sample collection kits

For tough conditions:

Our soil and plant sample kits are designed to withstand the realities of fieldwork humidity, heat, rough handling, and remote locations. This ensures DNA integrity is preserved from the moment of collection through to lab processing.

Traceability with QR codes:

Each kit features unique identifiers and scannable QR codes, enabling full chain-of-custody tracking and reducing the risk of mix-ups or data loss.



Real-world tested:

In recent oil palm plantation trials in Indonesia, our kits and digital tools proved invaluable for teams of over 200 staff, ensuring robust, reliable sample collection even in challenging environments.
