AIM - Advanced Identification Methods GmbH

AIM – Advanced Identification Methods GmbH is a Leipzig based team of passionate scientists and nature enthusiasts with more than ten years of experience in DNA barcoding. Our goal is to support biomonitoring projects across the globe in order to help preserve biodiversity. Monitoring the diversity of biospheres will help science and industry to understand how biodiversity is being impacted. We can only respect and protect what we know and understand. Globally accessible databases make it possible to catalog the biodiversity in its entirety – not solely focus taxa – in just one analysis step. Biodiversity, the diversity of species, consists not only of the diversity of individual focus groups, but mostly of unnoticed and difficult or unidentifiable species. The AIM team strives for a holistic biodiversity monitoring 2.0 in the digital age - a collection of all occurring species. Thus, biodiversity monitoring 2.0 enables large-scale monitoring projects in times of ever-increasing demand for species identification, even as numbers of specialists are decreasing almost as rapidly as species diversity. We have advanced our metabarcoding technology of digitally capturing biodiversity, which has enabled us to support over 800 biodiversity monitoring studies over the last 8 years. It is vital for conservation that the status quo of all species can be captured in their current state to better protect them. We use our expertise to identify, among others, samples for authorities, universities, zoos and private organizations and companies. As biologists we burn for the topics of biodiversity, conservation and preservation of native species. Visit us under www.metabarcoding.com for more Information!
