Lifeasible, a biotech company that specialized in agricultural science, recently updated its physical purity testing service for seed testing, with expanding capacities.
Physical purity testing refers to the analysis of the classification of seed batch composition. It is important to evaluate whether a given seed sample meets the specified purity standards; and whether it can truly represent the seed lot.
Ideally, the working sample should roughly contain at least 2500 seeds. The composition of the sample can be screened with the naked eye or using a hand-held magnifying lens, microscope, or semi-automatic checkpoint. Typically, the working sample is divided into four parts (pure seed, other crop seeds, weed seeds, and inert material) by hand, blower, or sieve; then the percentage of each ingredient is calculated by weight.
Physical purity testing for variety of plant species are available in Lifeasible now, including grasses/forages, native seeds, canola, cereals, pulses, vegetables/flowers, and so on.
Moreover, for seed testing, Lifeasible also provides genetic purity testing, seed germination testing, seed vigor testing, tetrazolium testing, seed health testing, seed moisture content testing, and seeds propagation and production.
“With rich experience and extensive expertise in modern agriculture, we proudly provide our customers worldwide with cutting-edge technologies, advanced laboratories facilities, and high-capacity field stations. Aside from a broad range of testing options, our experienced plant scientists and crop specialists offer our clients with customized protocols to make sure the maximum output of each project.” commented a representative from Lifeasible.
