The PhenoFab™ services are delivered with a robust phenotyping platform in a greenhouse setup. Determination of the phenotype is based on moving pots or trays with plants through a greenhouse compartment and fixed scanning areas containing image technology to capture digital data. The plants grow in individual containers/tray-wells and are scanned at preset time points from various angles using VIS (visible light), NIR and fluorescent imaging technology.

The facility has climate-controlled compartments that allow plants to grow up to 2.6 m under different environmental conditions, enabling experiments with different growth or stress factors. Depending on the plant size and experimental setup the capacity will vary around an average of 1,100 plants.
