Investigative Botanical R&D Services

Our Investigative Botanical R&D consulting service is our deep-dive research solution for companies that need more than a standard DNA test or what’s out there on the market today. It’s a scientific, discovery-oriented process that addresses complex questions about plant- or fungi-based materials, from species identity to trait validation.

Whether you are troubleshooting inconsistent product quality, validating unique genetics in breeding programs, identifying contaminants or adulterants, or developing new botanical testing applications, we approach every project with the robust combination of advanced sequencing, bioinformatics, and botanical expertise that we have amassed and vetted for almost 10 years.

We specialize in in-depth genotyping, gene analysis, and botanical forensics—capable of working with raw plant material, processed extracts, complex blends, and finished products. Our investigations can uncover the cause of misidentification, trace sources of contamination, create species validation workflows for difficult matrices, verify the uniqueness of genetic material, and predict agronomic or phenotypic traits for breeding.


This service is ideal for:

  • Resolving disputes over material identity or authenticity.
  • Investigating unexpected results or product failures.
  • Getting ID answers where none have been developed or easily available.
  • Auditing new suppliers or validating incoming materials.
  • Assaying for genetic uniqueness in breeding or cultivation.
  • Developing new botanical R&D applications or analytical methods.

Why use LeafWorks for our investigative botanical R&D service?

  • Unmatched Botanical Genomics Expertise – Over 100 years of combined experience in plant genetics, statistical analysis, and taxonomy.
  • Custom Scientific Approach– Every investigation starts with your specific question, not a one-size-fits-all test.
  • Forensic-Level Accuracy– Our DNA-based methods can do deep dives into what others miss, even in degraded or complex samples.
  • Actionable, Defensible Results– We work with you to identify what information you really need and present evidence-backed conclusions with recommendations that address your specific goals.


How the process works:

  • Define the Question– We work with you to understand the problem and scope the investigation.
  • Design the Study – We determine the most effective DNA testing approach and analysis strategies.
  • Conduct the Analysis– Our lab and bioinformatics team process and analyze the data.
  • Deliver Results– You receive a comprehensive report detailing findings, supporting evidence, and recommended next steps.


With our Investigative Botanical R&D service, you gain a true partner who can turn complex botanical problems into clear, actionable answers. Contact us to tell us about the issue you are facing and let’s work together to solve it.
