Seamons Genomics Laboratory

OUR SERVICES

Complete seed quality and genetic purity testing under one roof.

GERMINATION

Germination Test

We use standardized laboratory conditions to provide the most accurate germination results for every seed lot, following ISTA and IMSCS testing protocols.

Our Germination Testing determines the seed’s ability to sprout and grow under favourable conditions, giving growers confidence in the sowing-worthiness of a seed lot.

PHYSICAL PURITY

Physical Purity Test

The Physical Purity Laboratory analyzes seed lots to determine the exact composition of pure seed versus contaminants, ensuring compliance with quality standards.

Our analysts carefully separate and weigh each component of a seed sample to calculate accurate purity percentages for certification purposes.

GENETIC PURITY

Genetic Purity Test (Grow-Out Test)

The Grow-Out Test (GOT) is the traditional field-based method for verifying the genetic purity and trueness-to-type of hybrid seed lots.

Seeds are grown under controlled field conditions through their full growth cycle, allowing our analysts to identify off-types and confirm hybrid authenticity.

MOLECULAR TESTING

MGPT - Molecular Genetic Purity Test

MGPT uses PCR-based molecular techniques to verify the genetic purity of hybrid seed lots delivering reliable results in a fraction of the time required by traditional field testing.

This method is ideal for seed companies that need faster turnaround without compromising on accuracy, especially ahead of peak sowing seasons.

DNA FINGERPRINTING

SGBL - Genetic Purity (Molecular Marker)

SGBL uses SSR (Simple Sequence Repeat) molecular markers to confirm the genetic identity of hybrid seed at the DNA level, offering fingerprint-like precision.

This advanced marker-based technique is used to resolve genetic purity questions with the highest level of scientific confidence, especially for high-value hybrid lots.

MOISTURE ANALYSIS

Moisture Test

Accurate moisture testing is essential to determine how a seed lot should be stored and transported without compromising quality.

Our lab measures exact moisture content using standardized methods, helping seed companies plan storage life and avoid spoilage losses.

SEED HEALTH

Seed Health Test

The Seed Health Laboratory detects seed-borne pathogens to ensure only healthy, disease-free planting material reaches the market.

Our Seed Health testing covers a wide range of fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogen screening methods, performed by trained laboratory analysts.
