DNAir is a pioneering company that captures environmental DNA (eDNA) from the air to reveal hidden biological insights at scale. Using proprietary automated sensors, DNAir detects traces of DNA left by plants, animals, fungi, insects, and microbes in the atmosphere — transforming invisible biological signals into actionable intelligence. Their applications span biodiversity management, invasive species detection, plant protection, environmental impact assessments, biosecurity, and public health. Based in Dübendorf, Switzerland, DNAir offers services ranging from feasibility studies to full sensor deployments. The company is is spin-off from ETH Zurich.
