Come join our demo: “Why Pollen Viability Matters” and see a live demo of pollen viability analysis. Meet us and our distribution partner Tecnal on April 17 at 8 – 12 am, at Sala de Genética Prof. Warwick E. Kerr, Edificio J.T.A. Gurgel – Departamento de Genética ESALQ/USP, Avenida Pàdua Dias, 11 – Piracicaba, Brazil
Please see our brochure, for more information on the Ampha Z32.
What do our customers say? Vegenov, a resource centre specializing in plant research, published an article to their blog highlighting how they achieve better results and measure more with the Ampha Z32.
We are presenting a revolutionary way to characterize apoptosis and viability in cancer cells using Impedance Flow Cytometry. Come join us at the first Swiss Cytometry Conference at EPFL Lausanne from February 7-9, 2018. Contact us if you want to learn more about our innovative and efficient technology!
The book “Plant Germline Development” includes cutting edge methods and protocols for the study of plant germline development. It also features a chapter on analyzing microspore and pollen quality using Impedance Flow Cytometry, written by Amphasys’ CTO Dr. Marco Di Berardino and Dr. Iris Heidmann.
Analyzing pollen quality in an efficient and reliable manner is of great importance to the industries involved
in seed and fruit production, plant breeding, and plant research. Pollen quality parameters, viability and
germination capacity, are analyzed by various staining methods or by in vitro germination assays, respectively. These methods are time-consuming, species-dependent, and require a lab environment. Furthermore, the obtained viability data are often poorly related to in vivo pollen germination and seed set. In chapter 25, a quick and label-free method to analyze pollen is introduced, using microfluidic chips inserted into an impedance flow cytometer (IFC).
Come join our workshop: “Why Pollen Matters – A Case Study of Improved Cross Pollination and Yield via Pollen Viability Analysis” and see a live demo of pollen viability analysis. January 15 at 12.50 – 3pm, Royal Palm Salon at PAG, San Diego.
Please RSVP to attend the workshop or to schedule a meeting during PAG 2018.

Learn how Syngenta, Bayer CropScience and Enza Zaden benefit from analysing pollen viability.
The price endowed with CHF 15’000 is donated by “Zentralschweiz Innovativ” (in short “Zinno”), an interregional Swiss program to strengthen the competitiveness of businesses located in Central Switzerland. Amphasys convinced the jury with its rapid and accurate method for yeast viability testing using impedance flow cytometry.

Pollen is the seed of the seed companies, and seed is in the center of the International Seed Federation ISF Wold Seed Congress in Budapest. Therefore, the label-free, portable solution of Amphasys for the analysis of pollen viability is at the root of a successful business for the seed industry. Visit us at our booth 618.
High temperatures interfere with sexual reproduction and thus fruit and seed set. Heat tolerance was analyzed, among other things, by pollen viability and pollen number. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified for most of these traits, including a single, highly significant one for pollen viability, which accounted for 36% of phenotypic variation in the population and modified pollen viability under high temperature with around 20%.
