Biota Trace was founded in 2024 to provide next generation biomonitoring solutions to various industries and sectors. The technology has been spun out of Platform Kinetics a multidisciplinary company with over 20 years experience behind it in developing scientific instrumentation for customers in industry, academia and the public sector. At Biota Trace we aim to reimagine the biomonitoring landscape, starting with how samples are captured and processed.

In the world of biomonitoring science, cutting-edge molecular techniques and rigorous analysis drive crucial insights - but it all starts with the sample.

Too often, the sample collection process is overlooked. Take water sampling for example. Whether standing on a riverbank or shoreline, samples are often collected manually with reach, and mobility of the person performing the sampling having a direct impact on the results. This Ad hoc approach leads to inconsistent, unreliable and non-representative samples of the water body, which undermine the entire monitoring project and the rigour of the subsequent analysis workflow.

Remember, the quality of your data is only as good as the quality of your sample.

At Biota Trace, our advanced biomonitoring samplers provide cost effective and systematic sample collection solutions, providing reliable, representative data from the start.
