Seed is known as the "chip" of agriculture and plays an irreplaceable strategic role in agricultural development. The existing seed vigor determination methods, such as accelerated aging method and conductivity determination method, have caused serious damage to the seeds. The seed vigor detection technology developed by YoungerUSA based on more than 20 years of professional experience in non-invasive micro-test technology (NMT) can, under the condition of ensuring the integrity of seed samples, reveal the seed viability status by detecting the flow rate information of various molecules/ions related to the physiological activity of seeds, and directly and quickly provide reliable data support and scientific guidance for guiding the conservation and efficient use of seed germplasm resources.
Non-invasive micro-test technology (NMT) is a technology with ultra-high sensitivity, non-contact, flow rate as the unit, to detect the external ion molecular concentration and gradient of living materials. Ion and molecular homeostasis is one of the common basic characteristics of all life, and is a dynamic equilibrium. It constantly fine-tuned to respond to the internal and external environment changes of organelles, cells, tissues, organs and the whole organism. The dynamic balance is achieved by maintaining the concentration gradient of ions and molecules on both sides of various biofilms. Non-injury micro-measurement technology reveals the basic life feature of ionic molecular homeostasis of living materials and its related physiological functions and mechanisms by detecting the concentration gradient formed by these transmembrane moving ionic molecules.
