TECNALIA launches an innovative machine for automated plant agroinfiltration of plants in collaboration with the Centre for Plant Biotechnology and Genomics

TECNALIA has developed a machine for automated agroinfiltration testing, which is a crucial process in the bio-health industry: it involves inoculating plants with bacteria in order to produce specific protein. This equipment is essential for testing in the bio-health sector.

The machine has been installed at the CBGP facilities in Madrid, where it will be used to carry out agroinfiltration tests. The collaboration between TECNALIA and the CBGP offers a significant leap forward in research and development in the bio-health industry.

Agriculture and industry

The CBGP (Centre for Plant Biotechnology and Genomics) is a research centre located in Madrid, which works in the field of biotechnology and plant genomics.

The main aim of the CBGP is to study plant biology and its application in agriculture and industry. CBGP researchers work on research projects to improve agricultural production and automation and plant resistance to diseases and other environmental factors. Thanks to the collaboration with TECNALIA, they are focusing on innovative industrial applications.
