After 16 years in business for image processing in biology and providing our customers a platform for phenotyping/genotyping prospect this year, LemnaTec will take a big step forward to strengthen customer relationships and flank its success in phenotyping/genotyping endeavors.

Striving to base our common growth further from August on we will have 12 new team members:
