American Foulbrood (AFB)

At dnature we have developed the innovative Foster Method for AFB testing. This method is the first of its kind in the apiculture industry for detecting clinical levels of this pathogen.

Beer & Cider Testing

We are scientists not brewers so while we can’t tell you how to make a great beverage, we can test your beverage or vessel, to tell you if you have an unwanted yeast or bacteria in your drink.

Beehives & Honey

Keep yours a hive of activity.

Our research into American Foulbrood, Varroa resistance, viruses and pathogens is at the forefront of the New Zealand apiculture industry. We test for AFB, varroa nosemas and more.

Cannabis Plant Health

Save valuable time & resources by testing for the sex and health of your plant stock before visual signs show.

Culture ID

If you can’t tell what’s growing on your plates, or you’re not sure you have a risk organism, then our Culture ID sequencing service will give you the answer.

Liberibacter

Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum is a bacteria that can infect tomatoes, capsicums, carrots, tamarillos (tree tomatoes) and more.

Milk & Dairy Testing

Make sure you know the source of your milk.

In a high value industry such as dairy, authenticity matters.

Make sure that your
packaging claims are accurate. Is your goat powder 100% goat? Is your A2 milk genuinely A2? Back up your dairy products with science.

Truffle & Fungi Testing

The Root of the matter. We can’t guarantee that your trees will produce truffles but we can guarantee that you’ll know whether you have the proper mycorrhizal on your roots or what fungi you have produced.

Wine Testing

A wine PCR test gives you so much more than a yes/no result. Our testing will give you a quantitative result, so you know how big, or small, the issue is. In fact, we can detect down to a very low level of spoilage even viable but non-culturable cells that have been damaged by sulphur.

Meat ID

Meat authenticity testing to determine that the species of meat that you have is what you believe it to be.

Other services

dnature has been at the forefront of PCR and qPCR work for over 10 years and involved in the industry for 25 years.

We are experts in this methodology.
