ABOUT
Bio-tool Research, Development & Innovation operates in the traceability of wood products using DNA-based technologies.
We are a small and deeply committed team. We master scripting languages, GIS, bioinformatics, automation, plant taxonomy and systematics, and the wet lab’s tricks. We also love going into the forest and visiting each client’s forest management areas on site. Wherever they are, we are going to there.
We are truly passionate about what we do!
Our solution to accurately trace wood products back to the tree they came from is a dream come true. It is based on decades of research carried out in the best universities in Brazil and the world
Our focus is on producer-managers, industries, importers and consumers in general who demand the necessary credibility that the wood sector deserves.
Advantages of using DNA traceability of wood products
Using DNA profiles to verify timber supply chain integrity offers several advantages. Below, we list the top four: 1. Origin The origin of wood products can be verified independent

What species can be traced with DNA markers?
This is a very common question. The answer is: all species. However, it is important to emphasize that scientific knowledge is limited and, therefore, there are species that we kno
How does DNA traceability work?
DNA-based technologies are here to stay and can be used for accurate traceability. Using DNA, it is possible to scientifically prove the origin and legality of timber products. How
