NSure is a spin-off from Wageningen University and Research Centre, established in 2006. NSure explores the field of Molecular Diagnostics for the Agrifood sector by analyzing gene activity in relation to quality issues. NSure exerts its activities worldwide and is an expert in the combined field of Molecular Biology, Plant Physiology and Agrochains.Based on the fact that the activity of genes is responsible for the performance of fresh produce, NSure focucces on early warning by measuring changes in activity of relevant genes. Long before visible changes take place, changes in gene activity did happen. In certain cases, measuring changes in gene-activity is the only way to get an indicaton of the status of the fresh product.
The activity of the Technical Experts and the Business Developers of NSure results in commercial tests that are being used by the customers for decision making with respect to for instance harvest planning, switching grow phases and storability of their products. Examples of which will be presented during this talk by Peter Balk, CTO of NSure from the beginning.
