About
DNAir is a Swiss deep-tech start-up pioneering the capture and analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) from air. Using proprietary automated sensor systems, DNAir detects DNA traces left by plants, animals, fungi, insects, and microbes in the atmosphere — unlocking real-time biological insights at unprecedented scale.
By converting airborne genetic material into structured data, DNAir provides actionable intelligence for:
- Biodiversity monitoring and ecosystem management
- Early detection of invasive species
- Plant health and agricultural protection
- Environmental impact assessments
- Biosecurity and public health surveillance
As a spin-off from ETH Zurich, DNAir combines cutting-edge research with scalable field deployment. The company offers services ranging from feasibility studies and pilot projects to full sensor network installations tailored to environmental, industrial, and public sector needs.
DNAir enables data-driven conservation and environmental stewardship by providing accurate, non-invasive biodiversity monitoring tools that support ecosystem protection, climate adaptation strategies, and sustainable land management.
