eDNA sampling kits

Hi everyone, 

do you have any recommendations for eDNA sampling kits? 

I'm currently working on barcoding and genomics research focused on carnivores and bats (Chiroptera). 

Any advice on kits that work well for these taxa or specific environments would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Nabil,

What medium do you want to sample for your eDNA (soil/air/water)? 

If its soil then you can simply collect a sample in a bag and freeze.

This is a nice soil collection protocol with a kit list.
