The root is the most important nutrient organ of plants, usually located below the surface, and is responsible for absorbing water, inorganic salts, and organic matter from the soil. It has the role of supporting, reproducing, and storing synthetic organic matter. It is closely related to the growth and development of plants, even to the extent that it determines their growth potential and yield. Studying plant roots is an important basis for botanical research and a vital part of agricultural breeding. Here, Lifeasible provides microfluidic microarray-based plant growth state analysis services to assist you in agricultural breeding to assess plant growth capacity. Changes in these root physiological parameters are important indicators for screening plants.

What We Offer

Figure 1. Schematic diagram of the microfluidic system-based root growth assessment service.

Lifeasible has been working with microfluidic systems to achieve high-throughput detection of parameters that can be used for plant root growth assessment, assisting you in various screening and breeding efforts. Root growth analysis can be used to predict whole plant growth and adaptability to the environment, which is important information needed in breeding efforts. As shown in the figure above, Lifeasible can monitor root growth information throughout the plant growth process, ultimately providing you with detailed data analysis reports. The entire process is non-invasive, ensuring that our assays do not interfere with the physiological processes of the plant.

We offer the following plant root growth assessment services based on our proprietary microfluidic microarrays for you to choose from, which can greatly facilitate your plant management efforts.

• Root morphology change detection service (root morphology change recording, root growth rate estimation...)
• Root physiological parameters testing service (root water uptake capacity, root nutrient uptake capacity, root respiration rate...)

Based on the scalable microfluidic system, we also offer custom services for assays related to root growth assessment. The services are constantly being updated; please feel free to contact us .

Our Advantages

• Based on microfluidic chips, we can provide high-throughput and high-precision plant root growth status assessment services for real-time dynamic monitoring.
• We can help you get comprehensive data support efficiently, and finally, you will get a detailed assessment report.
• Our dynamic monitoring service is non-invasive and does not affect normal root growth, ensuring the authenticity and accuracy of the test data.
