See how imaging reveals hidden seed traits.
The entry-level X-ray CT device for fast, flexible and reliable scanning.
The ST Scan Compact delivers fast, non-invasive insights into seed quality and internal traits, making it ideal for labs and facilities that need precision without compromising on footprint. With the same trusted technology as our larger systems, it’s the accessible entry point to objective, predictive seed intelligence.
The ST Scan Compact is the entry level X-ray CT device for fast, flexible and reliable scanning of seed bulk samples. Its compact size makes it easy to integrate into space constraint environments such as labs and production facilities. Our compact could be perfect for deployment at several key positions in your supply chain.
Compact size
the ST Scan Compact features a full functioning X-RayCT solution that fits your desk- or benchtop. This makes is highly suitable to be implemented into every existing lab- and/or processing site.
Easy to use
The ST Scan Compact is easy to use. User can manually place samples inside the machine and after selecting the right preset the entire process from scanning to analyis is performed fast and automatically. The outputs are the relevant organ and trait measurement datapoints.
Flexible
The ST Scan Compact is very suitable for fast ad-hoc measurements, you can litteraly walk up to the machine, place a sample and start a measurement. This makes it optimal for environments with higher demands for flexibility and low- to medium throughputs.
High resolution 3D X-ray data
The ST Scan Compact is a full functioning X-rayCT device. This means it can make full 3D X-ray scans at the highest required resolutions for the phenoCheck solution.
Automated data processing
The ST Scan Compact features a complete and automated analysis pipeline. From data capture to 3D reconstruction and trait extraction, everything runs seamlessly in the background, giving you immediate access to the relevant measurement results.

The ST Scan Compact is compatible with below SeedTelligence solutions.
Phenotyping of seeds
phenoCheck
With 3D X-ray CT, phenoCheck measures internal seed quality in minutes. It detects purity, damage, and infections directly in bulk scans, predicting usable seeds without time-consuming germination tests. Quality can be quantified right after harvest and throughout the supply chain.
FAQ
What are the advantages of 3D X-ray?
3D X-ray reveals hidden internal structures, measures biomass directly, and enables non-destructive 4D tracking with high throughput.
What degree of automation is possible?
Full automation is possible, including climate chambers, sowing, and watering. Modular setups allow flexibility for different needs and step-by-step automation of processes.
With whom do I do business?
All SeedTelligence projects are contracted through PhenoKey, who coordinates activities with partners.
Do images need to be analysed by staff to get phenotypic data?
No. Image analysis is automated, reducing manual work and ensuring consistency.
Can I centrally analyze data that has been acquired in different hubs?
Yes. Multiple devices can run the same algorithms and produce comparable measurements. Because SeedTelligence algorithms extract seed and seedling organ biomass, results are harmonized across locations and can be analyzed centrally.
Can SeedTelligence predict germination performance?
Yes. By connecting seed quality traits to germination outcomes, SeedTelligence helps predict performance with high accuracy.
