Pathogen Scan Services
In early 2025 SGS launched our partnership to deliver Pathogen Scans covering bacteria, virus and fungi for your controlled environment agriculture business, greenhouse facility and row crops. These services fit into a maintenance testing program and can identify crop disease and plant pathogens. Our lab helps with crop health through identification and detection, as example root rot.

NEW for 2026! We have launched updated Pathogen Scans covering bacteria, virus and fungi for your controlled environment agriculture and field crop business, including viability (live vs dead) reporting. These services fit into a maintenance program, can identify target pathogens (ToBRFV, Fusarium, CGMMV), and investigate the complete genome of algae, nematodes, amphibians, fish and eukaryotes. Two of the key pathogens we launched are Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit virus (ToBRFV) and Fusarium species for Pepper Wilt! Many more, so do inquire with us.
