A handheld Chlorophyll seed sensor

October 2020

Sendot Research and CENTOR EUROPE have come to an arrangement allowing CENTOR to distribute the FluoMini Pro - Chlorophyll Seed Sensor to the broader seed industry in Europe and surrounding countries. For years it has been known that there is a relation between chlorophyll content and seed maturity and companies have been working with chlorophyll seed sorters and other optical equipment using it to understand and improve seed quality. Access now to an optical CF sensor in a handheld device will make measuring of chlorophyll during seed production, seed cleaning and/or processing or quality control much easier and more efficient allowing companies to gather more data about their seed lots to come to better decisions with regard to seed storability, shelflife or possible seed technology treatments.
