X-ray Imaging Systems
Code XSEED®
A Smarter Approach to Seed Analysis
Traditional seed testing methods can be slow, costly, and wasteful. XSEED® Imaging Systems combine high-resolution X-ray imaging capability with software designed for seed and agriculture analysis to streamline seed quality control and advance agricultural research. From evaluating seed viability to predicting germination potential, XSEED provides researchers and seed producers with reliable, high-resolution imaging for faster, better-informed decision-making.
Features
Why Choose XSEED for Seed and Agriculture Imaging?
- Optimize Quality Assessment - Evaluate embryo development and endosperm completeness for faster determination of seed quality and viability, prior to germination.
- Conserve Seeds - Examine internal morphology with non-destructive analysis in fully intact seeds.
- Save Time, Stay in Budget - Detect irregularities and reveal infestation before significant seed or plant loss is realized.
- Increase Productivity - Assess seeds faster than with traditional testing methods (e.g. Tetrazolium Chloride or germination) with immediate X-ray imaging and intuitive software.
- Streamline Workflow - Test in the field; install XSEED in a mobile lab, requiring nothing more than standard power supply, for ultimate efficiency.
Applications of XSEED Imaging Systems
- Seed Viability Testing - Simplify batch analysis and quickly identify viable seeds for optimized germination rates.
- Quality Control in Seed Production - Detect deformities, voids, and internal fractures in seeds and grains.
- Agricultural Research & Plant Breeding - Enhance phenotypic selection and crop improvement efforts.
- Plant Conservation and Restoration - Conserve rare or valuable seeds while ensuring the health of resulting seedlings.
Standard Software- DIGISEED® for Easy Image Analysis
DIGISEED® Seed Analysis Software, included on all XSEED Imaging Systems, provides researchers and seed specialists with the tools needed for precise, customizable, and repeatable seed analysis for seeds ranging from common to unusual, even for very small seeds.
- User-Defined Analysis Parameters –Researchers can set analysis criteria based on their knowledge of specific seedspecies, cultivars, or comparative test results.
- Preset Parameters – Quickly load saved parameters as presets for convenient, repeatable batch-to-batch analysis.
- Seamless System Integration – DIGISEED™ works directly with XSEED Imaging Systems, ensuring a smooth workflow for agricultural research, plant breeding programs, and seed quality control.
With just a few clicks, DIGISEED software settings can be tailored to accommodate and quickly analyze a wide variety of seeds. User-set parameters allow DIGISEED to provide seed size, count, density, and fill % in seconds.
