For fruit

Optimize your harvest, storage and sales planning, and ensure consistent quality for your customers. Our tests predict optimum harvest window and storage life, faster and more accurately than standard methods.

Pick your fruit when the time is ripe.
Our tests accurately determine the ripening stage of the fruit in your orchards. This enables you to predict the optimum harvest window and to determine the best harvesting sequence for multiple orchards. There is no better way to optimize your harvest and storage planning.

Reduce your storage losses, increase your profits.
Our tests accurately predict risk of internal browning and other storage disorders. This information enables you to tailor your sales planning to the storage life of your fruit, to deliver a consistently high quality to your customers, and to get the best price for your produce.

Make use of our innovative strength.
Our tests are more reliable and accurate than standard methods, because they directly measure the activity of genes that control ripening, growth and other processes that influence your produce quality. Based on this innovative technology, known as genomics, we can develop tailor-made tests for any variety and quality issue of your interest.

For tree seedlings

Ensure the vitality of your tree seedlings after cold storage, and optimize your nursery management. Our tests accurately measure cold hardiness and re-growth potential of major forest species.

Lift your seedlings at the right time.
With our tests you can accurately monitor cold hardening, and determine whether your seedlings are fully hardened off. This critical information allows you to lift your seedlings at the earliest possible moment and minimize vitality loss during cold or frozen storage.

Ensure a consistently high quality to your customers.
Our tests enable you to achieve a new level of quality control. Implementation in your nursery will enhance the efficiency of your operation, and ensure the vitality of your seedlings after cold or frozen storage. Your customers will be pleased with their planting success.

Make use of our innovative strength.
Our tests are faster and more accurate than standard methods. This is because they directly measure the activity of genes that control cold hardening, dormancy and re-growth. Based on this innovative technology, known as genomics, we can develop tailor-made tests for any tree species and quality issue of your interest.

For ornamentals

Improve the quality control of your flowers and ornamentals, and ensure added value for your customers. Using our tests you can reliably predict the blooming result of ornamental shrubs upon forced flowering. Other tests allow you to monitor remaining vase life, and risk of fungal diseases.

Increased control on flower production.
Our tests give you more control on the condition and the developmental stage of your crop. Based on this information you can evaluate and improve culture measures, and postharvest handling procedures, and optimize your sales planning.

Ensure added value for your customers.
Long vase life and high quality blooms are valued greatly by your customers. Our predictive tests enable you to provide your customers with the top quality they deserve, and to increase the sales value of your product.

Make use of our innovative strength.
Our tests are faster and more accurate than vase life assays and visual inspections. This is because they directly measure the activity of genes that control growth and disease development. Based on this innovative technology, known as genomics, we can develop tailor-made tests for any product and quality issue of your interest.

For vegetables & potatoes

Optimize your storage planning and ensure the processing quality and retail value of your produce. Our tests accurately predict storage disorders of frying potatoes, carrots and tomatoes.

Minimize your storage losses.
Our tests accurately predict, at harvest time, storage risks such as cold sweetening of frying potato or black spots on carrot. This allows you to tailor your sales planning to the storage life of your produce, to reduce your losses and to make your business more sustainable.

Ensure the quality of your produce.
Our tests provide reliable and detailed information on the processing quality and retail shelf life of your produce. This enables you to deliver a consistently high quality to your customers, and to get the best price for your vegetables and potatoes.

Make use of our innovative strength.
Our tests are faster and more accurate than standard methods, because they directly measure the activity of genes that control physiological processes such as starch to sugar conversion. Based on this innovative technology, known as genomics, we can develop tailor-made tests for any product and quality issue of your interest.
