Determine Seed Quality With Accurate Visualization
XSEED is the world’s first line of dedicated X-ray imaging systems designed specifically for advanced seed analysis and plant health research.
Transforming Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, and Plant Conservation with Faster, Easier, and Non-destructive Seed Analysis
Evaluating seed quality is critical to maximize seed germination potential and realize increased yields. Traditionally, seed quality has been assessed through testing methods that require the seed to be destroyed or otherwise rendered unusable as a result of the testing process. These methods can also be slow, costly, and wasteful.
XSEED® Imaging Systems combine high-resolution X-ray imaging capability with software designed for seed and agriculture analysis to streamline seed quality control and advance agricultural research.
From evaluating seed viability to helping predict germination potential, XSEED provides researchers and seed producers with reliable, high-resolution imaging for faster, non-destructive seed quality determination.

XSEED Benefits
Optimize Quality Assessment
Evaluate embryo development and endosperm completeness for faster determination of seed quality and viability, prior to germination.
Save Time, Save Budget
Detect irregularities and reveal infestation before significant seed or plant loss is realized.
Conserve Seeds
Examine internal morphology with non-destructive analysis in fully intact seeds.
Increase Productivity
Assess seeds faster than with traditional testing methods (e.g. Tetrazolium Chloride or germination) with immediate X-ray imaging and intuitive software.
Streamline Workflow
Test in the field; install XSEED in a mobile lab, requiring nothing more than standard power supply, for ultimate efficiency.

DIGISEED® for Easy Image Analysis
DIGISEED® Seed Analysis Software, included on all XSEED Imaging Systems, provides researchers and seed specialists with the tools needed for precise, customizable, and repeatable seed analysis for seeds ranging from common to unusual, even for very small seeds.
- User-Defined Analysis Parameters –Researchers can set analysis criteria based on their knowledge of specific seedspecies, cultivars, or comparative test results.
- Preset Parameters – Quickly load saved parameters as presets for convenient, repeatable batch-to-batch analysis.
- Seamless System Integration – DIGISEED™ works directly with XSEED Imaging Systems, ensuring a smooth workflow for agricultural research, plant breeding programs, and seed quality control.
With just a few clicks, DIGISEED software settings can be tailored to accommodate and quickly analyze a wide variety of seeds. User-set parameters allow DIGISEED to provide seed size, count, density, and fill % in seconds.
