Work description
There is a requirement 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 at the Seed Biology Laboratory at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The current vapor sorption analyser is 20 years old and can analyse just one sample at a time, which limits the research throughput.
