TraitFinder easy plant phenotyping
The TraitFinder is a powerful tool, which automates your plant phenotyping- and screening applications. It is also an ideal tool for those who would like to get started with the digital assessment of crops.
- For Lab & Greenhouse
- End to end product, no integration
- Scan up to 100 plants in 40 seconds
- Morphological & Spectral data e.g. plant Height or Color
- 20+ plant parameters each scan
- visualize & analyze data with HortControl
TraitFinder enables you to analyze plant traits within seconds. It moves a PlantEye over your plants and captures them in 3D and with multispectral information. This is used to calculate a wide suite of morphological- and physiological parameters – fully automatically and in real time!

Plant sensors included:
PlantEye automates phenotyping in 3 steps:
- PlantEye Scans plants and creates 3D files
- 20+ plant parameters are calculated
- Plant data is Visualized and Analyzed
PlantEye delivers 20+ parameters ready to be analyzed! Read more about the parameters and our automation process.
Software:
HortControl visualizes and analyzes your data:
- Set up and monitor your trials
- Data management, visualization and data export functions
- Automated reporting functions
HortControl is the central software to setup, visualize and analyze your PlantEye measurements. Read more about HortControl and our automation process.
Typical applications you can automate with TraitFinder:
Clients worldwide successfully use the TraitFinder for the following applications:
- Plant phenotyping
- Disease quantification
- Germination assays
- Bioassays
- Chemical screenings
- Experimental control
- Documentation
- Quality control
Automated Germination assay
Assessing the germination rates is a labor intensive- and tedious job. TraitFinder automatically screens hundreds of pots and trays fully automatically and generates germination graphs. See changes over time, germination uniformity and early vigor.
High Resolution Growth Analysis
Plants react within seconds and minutes to changing environments, which in many cases, like for growth, cannot be measured manually. TraitFinder provides this information and measures plants in high temporal- and spatial resolution and detects changes in growth rates within hours. This saves time, improves accuracy and increases the throughput of your trials and experiments.
Growth dynamics (height in mm) visualized over time. Due to the high scan interval you can see clear day & night dynamics.
Growth screenings
Growth analysis is a routine application in every lab. It is time consuming and only affordable for small amounts of plants. TraitFinder provides you this data fully automatically and you can scale up your experimental throughput and data accuracy.
