摘要:
An automated high throughput apparatus method and system for seed sampling is provided. The seed sampling system includes an ablation subsystem having a controlled cutting path and a seed handling subsystem comprising a staging system having a plurality of seed staging positions for staging a batch of seed in a sequential manner and a carrier system for simultaneously presenting seed staging positions at the cutting path for removing a sample portion from each seed in the batch. A method of this invention includes providing ablation means having a controlled cutting path automatically staging a batch of seed at a plurality of staging positions in a sequential manner simultaneously presenting the batch of seed at the cutting path and removing a sample portion from each seed in the batch.
