Patent number: 10660259Abstract: To provide an accelerated aging seed testing kit system, a single sheet of plastic or other suitable formable sheet material is pressed into the shape of a compartment base having recesses for mounting a seed holder. A seed holder that includes a seed support and a seed support holder is formed. The seed support holder is formed of a single sheet of plastic having radially extending tabs that fit into the recesses of the container to support the seed support above the rest of the test kit. A lid is formed out of one piece of plastic having a bendable tab to serve as a port and the openings and connecting points of the lid and seed holder are positioned so they can only fit together in one orientation having the port above a bypass channel.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2017Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Kamterter Products, LLCInventors: Christopher Lee Petersen, John Alvin Eastin, Timothy Raymond Meyer

Patent number: 9699952Abstract: To provide an accelerated aging seed testing kit system, a single sheet of plastic or other suitable formable sheet material is pressed into the shape of a compartment base having recesses for mounting a seed holder. A seed holder that includes a seed support and a seed support holder is formed. The seed support holder is formed of a single sheet of plastic having radially extending tabs that fit into the recesses of the container to support the seed support above the bottom of the test kit. A bypass channel for addition of an aqueous solution used in the prescribed test condition is provided in the seed holder. A lid is formed out of one piece of plastic having a bendable tab to serve as a port and the openings and connecting points of the lid and seed holder are positioned so they can only fit together in one orientation having the port above the bypass channel. The saturated cold germination test kit includes a compartment base, a lid and a holder for an oxygen scavenger.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2015Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: Kamterter Products, LLCInventors: Christopher Lee Petersen, John Alvin Eastin, Timothy Raymond Meyer

Patent number: 9521802Abstract: The seed test kit includes a compartment base, a lid and a holder for an oxygen scavenger. The base includes a liquid gas exchange control trough around its perimeter. It is sized to house a high moisture holding seed planting surface pack at the bottom so seeds can be placed on top of the surface to imbibe and initiate pre-germination mechanisms. The lid has an edge that fits into a trough that houses a gas barrier liquid in the base to form an airtight seal and has an attachable compartment for an oxygen scavenger so the kit may be placed together in an airtight configuration with the oxygen scavenger inside to provide an anaerobic atmosphere.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2014Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: Kamterter Products, LLCInventors: Christopher Lee Petersen, John Alvin Eastin, Timothy Raymond Meyer

Patent number: 8375628Abstract: A saturated cold germination test kit includes a compartment base, a lid and a holder for an oxygen scavenger. The base is water and airtight and includes a liquid gas exchange control trough around its perimeter. It is sized to house a high moisture holding seed planting surface pack at the bottom so seeds can be placed on top of the surface to imbibe and initiate pre-germination mechanisms. The lid has an edge that fits into a trough that houses a gas barrier liquid in the base to form an airtight seal and has an attachable compartment for an oxygen scavenger so the kit may be placed together in an airtight configuration with the oxygen scavenger inside to provide an anaerobic atmosphere for performing the saturated cold germination test in a cool location.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2007Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: Kamterter Products, LLCInventors: Christopher Lee Petersen, John Alvin Eastin, Timothy Raymond Meyer
