US ID: $15M Vegetable Seeds QC Lab
Syngenta has invested $15 million in a global vegetable seeds quality control lab in Nampa, Idaho.
The lab represents a significant expansion of the company's previous $30 million Trait Conversion Accelerator, which opened at the site in 2019.
This new facility is a 37,000-square-foot quality control facility that features contained environment growth areas and precision testing.
Syngenta's investments in the Nampa facility bring new technology and methodologies to improve turnaround times and accuracy for pest testing.
Here are some of the new technologies being used:
- Grow out trials – These provide an additional check for seed quality and can be required in certain regulatory processes.
- Protein sampling – Analyzes samples for the presence of bacteria with precision and a two- to three-day result turnaround.
- Molecular testing – Uses PCR-type technology to provide evidence of the presence or absence of DNA related to seed-borne pests with a one- to two-day window for results.
This lab will enhance seed health in the global vegetable industry and for vegetable seed customers, supporting the reduction of the timeline from seed production to grower fields.
