An automatic seed counter is an instrument that counts seeds and small particles quickly and accurately using automated detection systems.
An automatic seed counter uses sensors to detect and count seeds automatically, ensuring fast, accurate, and reproducible results in laboratories and industry.
Counts seeds quickly with high accuracy
Reduces manual errors and labor
Supports high-throughput workflows
Improves consistency in Quality Control
Used in research, agriculture, and industry
These systems are used to:
Count seeds for Plant Breeding programs
Support Seed Germination Testing
Ensure accurate packaging quantities
Enable high-throughput laboratory workflows
Maintain data accuracy and traceability
Seeds are placed into the feeder or hopper.
Seeds are guided individually through the counting channel.
Sensors (optical or mechanical) detect each seed.
The system records each detected seed automatically.
Counted seeds are collected into trays or containers.
Manual counting is slow, error-prone, and inconsistent.
Automated counting ensures precision and speed.
Improved accuracy
Reduced labor
Higher throughput
Better reproducibility
