Abstract

Systems and methods for processing plant material samples and a transfer station designed for use in such systems and methods. The system includes a controller, a plant-material sampling device, and a transfer station. The plant-material sampling device communicates with the controller to read an identifier of a plant. The sampling device comprises a removable magazine, and is designed to take plant samples from multiple plants, place such samples in the magazine, and track the identity of the plant from which each sample is taken. The transfer station holds multiple magazines and multiple trays such that the positions of the magazines are mirrored by the positions of the trays, reads an identifier of each magazine, reads an identifier of each tray, maps storage locations for each one of the magazines to storage locations of one of the trays, and sequentially unloads plant samples from the magazines to the trays.
