We had a great time at PAG XX

Many of our old friends stopped by to see our latest results, and we had the opportunity to introduce our technology to many new friends.

Growth Protocols

Several visitors at PAG and CSSA indicated an interest in our growth protocols using expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads as a growth substrate. If you are interested in having complete control of your rhizosphere environment please consider using our expanded polystyrene bead growth substrate. Put in what you want, leave out what you don't want. Get clean tissue samples, exudate samples, and an easy to wash root system.

The beads that we use as a plant growth substrate are available from Alliance Foam Technologies. We use their T180F 1.5PCF pre-expanded EPS beads.

Remove the barrier of having to make inferential determinations of root development.

Seeing is believing.
