It covers all needs for efficient pollen analysis from plant breeding to seed production.

UNIVERSAL

The Ampha Z40 Pollen Analyzer allows to measure pollen of all relevant plant species ranging from vegetables and row crops to ornamentals and trees. Amphasys provides detailed application recommendations and support for more than 250 species.

• Pollen analysis of more than 250 species

• Determination of developmental stages of microspores

• Determination of pollen ploidy

EFFICIENT

The information provided by the Ampha Z40 can be used along all stages from early research in plant breeding up to commercial seed production: to improve doubled haploid (DH) plant production, for line selection in breeding, to optimize pollen storage, pollination protocols and female to male ratio, for routine pollen quality control in commercial seed production.

• Increase breeding and production efficiency

• Increase yield and reduce cost

• Increase reliability in seed production

FLEXIBLE

The Ampha Z40 is the high-end pollen analyzer which covers all requirements for research as well as for routine measurements. The possibility to adapt protocols and settings in a flexible way to match the requirements of specific research topics makes it an ideal tool for in-depth analyses: creation of own protocols, manual gating strategies, free variation of settings, adaption of buffer solutions

• Covers all pollen research tasks

• Real time manual gating and adaptation of settings

• Monitor and modify existing protocols

Case study: Microspore Development in Wheat

The graph shows an overlay of various measurements. Microspores of spikelet's in different development stages were measured. A shift on the y axis represents the growth in volume of a cell, while the shift on the x axis shows a difference in cell status.
