Lab Systems

A controlled environment evolution

INTAG research systems grow food science to a whole new level. Featuring significant advances in microbiology, precision lighting techniques, and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) INTAG systems provide an ideal Controlled Environment Ecosystem for scientific study. With uniquely engineered biological systems that mimic nature, enhanced by environmental controls, these living laboratories can provide the ideal conditions for diverse fields of study including:

Medicinal Plants, Nutraceutical, and Pharmaceutical Research
Biology, Microbiology, Botany
Environmental Science & Engineering
Healthcare, Nutrition & Life Sciences
Agri-therapy

Lower Operating Costs:

INTAG systems eliminate your transport and cold storage costs associated with food delivery and storage. Your produce is grown at or near your lab, picked fresh, and prepared in a matter of minutes. INTAG aquaponics systems have lower operating costs than traditional hydroponics and aquaponics systems primarily because we don’t need to source mineral nutrients.... READ MORE

INTAG systems eliminate your transport and cold storage costs associated with food delivery and storage. Your produce is grown at or near your lab, picked fresh, and prepared in a matter of minutes. INTAG aquaponics systems have lower operating costs than traditional hydroponics and aquaponics systems primarily because we don’t need to source mineral nutrients. The fish in our aquaponics systems provide optimal nutrients, eliminating the need and expense of buying harvested minerals from mines. Producers who switch to INTAG systems see an approximate 65% decrease in production costs. For instance, on average, the cost of microgreens will decrease from $30/lb to $9/lb, and spring mix will decrease from $15/lb to $4/lb. SHOW LESS

Higher Quality:

INTAG systems are proven to grow food with superior taste. Independent third-party taste marker tests conclude INTAG’s superior quality of our plants. Robust flavor and nutrients ensure your produce is always at its peak.

Superior Nutrients:

The holy grail of a nutritional diet is the sufficient intake of micronutrients. Much of American farmland is depleted of micronutrients due to decades of overuse. INTAG systems have verified third-party test results showing higher nutrient content levels than traditional hydroponics and in many cases, soil-based growing. Unlike traditional hydroponic systems where the nutrients have... READ MORE

The holy grail of a nutritional diet is the sufficient intake of micronutrients. Much of American farmland is depleted of micronutrients due to decades of overuse. INTAG systems have verified third-party test results showing higher nutrient content levels than traditional hydroponics and in many cases, soil-based growing. Unlike traditional hydroponic systems where the nutrients have to be manually added. INTAG systems produce a constant flow of natural micronutrients in our closed system. SHOW LESS

TASTE/FLAVOR:

Food grown in a controlled environment is not weather-beaten, therefore it remains delicate, flavorful, and pure. INTAG systems grow tender, delicate greens that burst with flavor due to their high nutrient levels.

Appearance:

Produce from an INTAG system is always the cream of the crop. Blemishes that can be caused by animals, pests, or severe weather are all eliminated with controlled environment agriculture. Produce from an INTAG system is always colorful, appealing, and fresh.

Transport / Logistics:

In America, the average piece of produce travels 1500 miles before being consumed. Nearly 75% of the price you pay for food accounts for transportation, fossil fuels, and packaging. No transportation. No logistics. No packaging. You become the only distributor.

Land Use & Scalability:

INTAG systems use a fraction of the square footage of a traditional soil garden because — you can go vertical. Stack our media beds to meet your demand. We can provide high-yield production almost anywhere — in a closet, backyard, roof, or nearly any unused space. Our clean room technology will safely retrofit any commercial... READ MORE

INTAG systems use a fraction of the square footage of a traditional soil garden because -- you can go vertical. Stack our media beds to meet your demand. We can provide high-yield production almost anywhere -- in a closet, backyard, roof, or nearly any unused space. Our clean room technology will safely retrofit any commercial space for optimal controlled environment agriculture. SHOW LESS

Agri-therapy:

INTAG systems are a proven, effective method of agri-therapy for patients with autism and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The benefits of agri-therapy include increased focus, confidence, community-building, nutrition and environmental awareness, and sense of achievement. Caring for fish and plants reduces stress and anxiety and generates a sense of pride and well being. Students,... READ MORE

INTAG systems are a proven, effective method of agri-therapy for patients with autism and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The benefits of agri-therapy include increased focus, confidence, community-building, nutrition and environmental awareness, and sense of achievement. Caring for fish and plants reduces stress and anxiety and generates a sense of pride and well being. Students, teachers, staff gain life skills and develop a connection with nature and others. INTAG systems can be configured to incorporate wheelchair and other accessibility requirements. SHOW LESS

Risk Mitigation:

INTAG systems reduce the probability of foodborne illnesses by: removing warm-blooded animals from the production chain, thereby nearly eliminating the risk of e-coli and other organisms; reducing the number of hands that touch your produce; and bringing stability to the supply chain through controlled environments. In short, we control access to your food and climate-proof... READ MORE

In short, we control access to your food and climate-proof your produce. SHOW LESS

Food Safety:

INTAG systems use a controlled growing environment, with no manure, no synthetic pesticides, and very limited interaction with human hands. We can configure our systems to exceed the most rigorous food safety requirements.
