Drawing on decades of experience in the plant sciences PlantScreenTM Phenotyping Systems are designed for automated high-throughput monitoring and quantification of plant architecture and performance at high precision in controlled environments, greenhouses and fields.

In several past years PSI company has provided a range of automated and customized solutions for high throughput screening in various species ranging from Arabidopsis to manifold crop plants. The phenotyping PlantScreenTM platform can be configured for single pots, multiple pots or trays, providing flexibility of use with numerous different species, or with a single species throughout its growth cycle.

As the first company to offer a chlorophyll fluorescence imaging system, PSI is at the forefront of digital image acquisition and processing. The team comprises numerous plant scientists, engineers and software professionals that can provide innovative technology to realize the goals of your innovative research.

PlantScreenTM System Components:
- Chlorophyll Fluorescence Kinetic Imaging 
- Morphometric and RGB Analysis 
- Thermal Imaging 
- Hyperspectral Imaging 
- NIR Imaging 
- Automated Watering and Nutrient Regimes 
- Automated Weighing 
- Environmental Control in the Imaging Cabinet 
- Robotic Imaging Systems 
- Plant Conveyor Systems 
- Automated Database-Based Bar Code or RFID Reading 
- Graphical Control Software 
- PlantScreen Data Analyzer

PlantScreenTM may be incorporated with an external conveyor system and/or loading station to move plants from a growth room or greenhouse into the imaging cabinet. A comprehensive software package, with remote accessibility, is used to control all aspects of the conveyor and imaging modules, as well as for data acquisition, image analysis and data base configuration.
