Ship a sample of your seed, grain, pulses, nuts, salt, recycled plastic or other product to our Saskatoon lab from anywhere in Canada, the United States or around the world. We run it through a VistaSort optical color sorter at no charge, then walk you through the results: the accepts, the rejects and what the sorter can do for your product.

A free color sorting test shows you exactly what a VistaSort optical color sorter will do with your product. You ship us a sample. We run it through a VistaSort, which uses high-resolution cameras to find the bad and high-speed ejectors to remove it from the good product. Then we show you both piles: the rejects that came out and the accepts that are left.
A free color sorting test costs nothing and there is no obligation to buy. It is the fastest way to know whether optical color sorting will clean up your product before you invest.
It is not a germination, grading or lab analysis test. For seed certification or grading, use an accredited seed lab. Our test shows what a color sorter can separate.
Every photo below is a real sample sorted on a VistaSort optical color sorter in our Saskatoon lab. The rejects are what the sorter pulled out; the accepts are the clean product left behind. This is exactly what you see when we test your sample. Pick a product:

Seed and grain are where we started, but a VistaSort sorts far more. If color or shade tells the good from the bad, send it in. ✓ Results on this page

Our color sorting lab sits in our shop at 835-58th Street East in Saskatoon, with VistaSort sorters, including VistaSort AI models, set up and ready to run your sample.
Plenty of sorter makers offer a test. Few tell you what it costs, how it works or what you get back. Here is what to ask, and how the Vistasort free color sorting test answers.
Every product sorts differently. A color sorter that cleans one plant's lentils perfectly might need a different setup for yours. A free color sorting test takes the guessing out: you see your own rejects and accepts, sorted on the same VistaSort optical color sorter you would be buying.
It also tells us what to recommend. Your results show how much needs to come out and how hard it is to see, which decides the chute count, whether the optional infrared camera or AI option is worth it, and whether you also need cleaning equipment ahead of the sorter. Planning a new plant? Our plant design team can build the line around your results.
We are based in Saskatoon and work with seed plants, pulse processors and grain handlers across the Prairies every day, but the free color sorting test is open to every province and territory in Canada, to processors across the United States and to customers anywhere in the world.
Contact us before you ship. Seed, grain, food and plant products entering Canada can need import paperwork depending on the product and where it comes from, and we will help you confirm what your sample needs so it arrives without delay.
Ask about the Mobile Testing Unit with optical color sorting through Vistasort, for on-site testing by arrangement. Contact our team to set it up.
