Finding the needle in the haystack
Modern breeding or GMO methods are able to produce THOUSANDS of new varieties per week
The LemnaTec
Scanalyzer System
discovers THE ONE
which is relevant…
+3%
For example, THE plant with 3% increase in value is worth
$50m if it obtains 10% market penetration and released 2 years earlier
Automatic screening 10x more efficient than human screening

Problems:
• artefacts (debris) in substrate hide roots (H2O + Fe)
• low contrast between roots and background
• correct setting of NMR has to be researched
