Determination and Analysis of Total Silicon in Plant Samples

Ball-and-stick model of the orthosilicic acid moleculeSilicon is rich in soil because it participates in the composition of the cell walls and enhances the mechanical strength and stability of tissue, which can enhance the lodging resistance and other resistance of Gramineae plants, such as resisting the invasion of diseases and insect pests. Silicon can improve crop photosynthesis, root activity, enhance disease resistance and stress resistance, promote nutrient absorption and improve nutrient balance in the body, which is an essential element for plant growth. According to the different conditions (source, variety, organization) and specific testing needs of the samples provided by each customer, Lifeasible adopts a variety of targeted pretreatment methods and detection and analysis methods to provide each customer with professional, accurate, and reliable test data and plant total silicon determination and analysis results.

What We Offer

  • Determination and analysis of silicon in plant samples.
  • Absorption, transfer, and content analysis of silicon.
  • Analysis of factors affecting silicon content and composition in different plants.
  • Analysis of the changes of silicon content in plants under different environments (temperature, humidity, pH value, tissue position, etc.).

*The service project is constantly updated, please contact our staff by email for more up-to-date and relevant information.

Sample Requirement

  • Dried plant tissue samples, > 3g
  • Fresh plant tissue samples, > 6g (If necessary, we can provide sample drying treatment free of charge.)

The experimental samples will not be returned, please back them up by yourself. Before sampling, it is necessary to set up the control group and the experimental group, and each group is suggested to repeat more than 3 times. Quick-frozen preservation with liquid nitrogen can minimize the leakage time of plant samples at room temperature. There is no restriction on plant varieties. For varieties with special requirements or rare varieties, please contact our staff for more information. [Inquiry]

After receiving the order, we will carry out your project as soon as possible and at the end of the project, we will provide a detailed technical report, including relevant experimental steps, relevant parameters of the experiment, original pictures, original data, and accurate and reliable experiment results.
