It enables faster measurements due to simplified operation and automatic data analysis.

PORTABLE

Pollen viability wherever it is needed and for species with an extremely short pollen lifetime like wheat, rice and corn.  Optimization of processes at all stages where the viability of pollen is a success factor.

• Embedded PC

• Replaceable and  rechargeable batteries

• Airplane cabin allowed

• Robust case

EASY TO USE

The crop-specific microfluidic chips for the Ampha P20 are programmed with all the settings for fully automated analysis.  Only a few clicks are needed from the start of the instrument to the display of results.

• Integrated touchscreen with  intuitive menu

• Simplified handling  supported by operation  wizards

• Minimal setup time

• Crop-specific chips with  pre-installed settings

AUTOMATED DATA ANALYSIS

The measurement results are displayed immediately at the end of the measurement.  No manual gating and time consuming analysis of scatterplots is necessary.  Decisions for further actions can be taken  instantly.

• Immediate results for  data-driven decision-making

• Systematic screening and  routine measurements

• No experience in data  analysis needed

Case Study: Characterize Pollen Viability – Screening Lines In Sunflower

The illustration shows the variation of pollen viability across 20 different lines.  Various lines show high pollen viability in combination with a very low amount of aberrant cells.  Other lines even show a higher amount of aberrant cells than viable pollen.  These lines should not be considered in the further breeding process as they will never provide a high seed set.
