Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew awarded a contract to ProUmid GmbH & Co.

KG for the supply of a dynamic vapor sorption analyser for the Seed Biology Laboratory.

The equipment is required to measure water sorption and desorption in seeds, spores and pollen and to generate moisture-(de)sorption isotherms for research into seed desiccation, storage and longevity.

The contract, valued at £101,645, replaces a 20-year-old analyser that could analyse only one sample at a time, limiting research throughput.
