This year marks
STA Laboratories, Inc.’s
20th anniversary of providing quality services to agriculture.
In 1987, Seed Testing of America was established in Colorado and
began providing independent hybrid purity services to the corn
industry. Seed Testing of America soon expanded its hybrid
purity services to the vegetable seed industry, and began
offering seed analysis services in 1989 and seed health services
in 1991. These services remain our core business.
Along the way, our business model of providing the highest
quality throughput and superior customer service, appealed to
other sectors of agriculture. Plant Health Services was added,
offering Grapevine HealthChecktm diagnostic services, breeder
support and plant disease diagnostic analyses. Soon afterwards,
we changed the company name to STA Laboratories and most
recently, STA Genomics, specializing in The Breeder’s Edge
molecular marker services, became our newest service division.
We have traveled a long way, from humble beginnings as a starch
electrophoresis laboratory to our integrated services that
include seed quality, genetic enhancement and plant health.
STA provides independent diagnostic services to many sectors of
agriculture. The vision—to be the leading diagnostic laboratory
that offers technology-based, scientifically sound services to
help you succeed—has driven our expansion.
STA’s growth would not have been possible without the loyal
support of over 1000 worldwide customers. We sincerely thank all
of our clients, colleagues and friends for taking this 20 year
journey with us, and we look forward to supporting your success
for another 20 years.
