Seed Testing Equipment

Reliable seed quality starts in the laboratory

Seed testing equipment supports the routine work of seed certification and quality control: dividing a submitted lot into representative working samples, separating pure seed from inert matter and weed seed, counting seed for germination tests and thousand-seed weight, checking moisture content, and inspecting the internal condition of seed by X-ray. Official seed testing stations, ministries of agriculture, gene banks, breeding programmes, seed companies and universities use these instruments to verify seed lots before trade, storage or sowing. ASFAN supplies, installs and supports seed laboratory equipment and helps specify complete seed testing laboratories.

ASFAN supplies and supports seed testing equipment for seed stations, gene banks, ministries and seed producers across Qatar.

Representative sampling

Centrifugal, Boerner and riffle dividers reduce a large submitted sample to a smaller working sample without bias, which is the foundation of every reliable seed test.

Purity and contamination checks

Illuminated and polarised-light purity workbenches, blowers and sieves help analysts separate pure seed, other crop seed, weed seed and inert matter accurately and consistently.

Faster counting and planting

Automatic and vacuum seed counters prepare replicates for germination tests and thousand-seed weight in minutes, reducing manual counting errors and analyst workload.

Inspecting seed from the inside

Agricultural X-ray imaging reveals empty, cracked, insect-damaged or poorly filled seed without destroying it, supporting quality decisions for valuable breeding and conservation lots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which equipment does a basic seed testing laboratory need?

A typical core set includes a sample divider, a purity workbench, test sieves, a seed counter, a moisture meter, a balance and a germination incubator. X-ray imaging and seed blowers are added as the workload and seed species grow.

What does a seed X-ray system show?

It shows the internal structure of each seed, so analysts can see whether the embryo and storage tissue are fully developed and detect cracks, hollow seed or insect damage before germination testing or storage.

Why are different seed dividers offered?

Each suits different seed types and lab routines. Riffle and Boerner dividers are robust and need no power, while centrifugal dividers work quickly with free-flowing seed. Many laboratories keep more than one type.
