Plant Root Microfluidic Chip

Microfluidic systems enable precise control of tiny volumes and simulation of the inter-root microenvironment, allowing for highly accurate monitoring of root growth status. For plants, roots are not only a significant organ for water and mineral salt uptake but also a site for nutrient conversion and synthesis with exceptionally active metabolic activities. Lifeasible has been working on combining sophisticated microfluidic systems and root-related botanical studies to further bring new ideas to agricultural breeding and production optimization. You can first have a general overview of our microfluidic-based root chip services in the figure below.

What We Offer

Lifeasible's root microarray-based services can cover all stages of plant growth and development or specific stages, regardless of plant species. Our root analysis service is highly precise, high throughput, and non-invasive, ensuring professional results. We provide services for plant root research mainly on the following aspects to bring new sparks to your botanical research.

Root Growth Assessment Service

Lifeasible can provide real-time microfluidic chip-based plant root growth monitoring services, detecting parameters such as root length, branching, growth direction, root hairs, etc. By accurately monitoring the morphological changes in the root growth cycle, we can assist you in assessing the growth potential of roots and even plants, which can provide great data support for breeding work.

Root-Environment Interaction Analysis Service

Lifeasible offers microfluidic microchip-based root-environment interaction analysis services to help study plant stress tolerance by precisely regulating and simulating changes in environmental parameters. We can provide a range of environmental parameters for your test, including temperature, water content, pH, oxygen content, microbes, etc.

Plant Root Genome Analysis Service

Lifeasible offers root genomics-based analysis microarrays that efficiently and accurately analyze root genome expression levels to assess the impact of environmental changes on root phenotypic changes. This service will give you a deeper understanding of the root growth and development process, which is essential for optimizing agricultural breeding and production processes.

All testing procedures of Lifeasible are operated by experienced botanical experts, who will eventually write a detailed data analysis report and make relevant breeding recommendations for you. Based on the scalability of the microfluidic system, more custom service programs are constantly being updated. Please feel free to contact us for customized services related to plant root research, and our experts are always looking forward to hearing from you.
