Automated precision applicator for row crops with dual sided applicators that can be used to direct pollen to multiple areas of the plant, as well as to measure phenotypic characteristics of plant fruiting bodies and detect successful pollination.

Automated precision pollen applicator for row crops

Methods and systems are provided for singulating, orienting, and delivering oriented objects (e.g., embryos) to a desired location (e.g., a plate containing a selected medium).

Systems and methods for plant embryo orientation and replating

Systems and methods for maize embryo plating and replating

An apparatus and methods for non-destructively analyzing the strength of plant roots and stalks, and uses of this information in plant breeding, crop production, and detection of plant pathology. The apparatus and methods involve the use of a variable rate tensioner that may be automatically or remotely adjusted based on crop conditions.

Non-destructive stalk and root contact sensor with variable rate tensioner

Methods and systems are provided which permit extraction of a monocot embryo (e.g., a corn embryo) of a monocot seed (e.g., a corn kernel) without damage to the monocot embryo. Methods disclosed herein provide embryos for uses in plant breeding and research procedures.

Methods of extracting monocot embryos

Systems for extracting monocot embryos

A system and method for the automated preparation of one or more samples for analysis is disclosed. The system comprises a processing mechanism configured to process the one or more samples, wherein each sample is contained in a separate sample container. The system further comprises a cover configured to enclose the sample containers while the processing mechanism is operating, a first holder comprising a first pivot point and a second pivot point, wherein the first pivot point of the first holder is hingedly connected to the cover, a second holder comprising a first pivot point and a second pivot point, wherein the first pivot point of the second holder is hingedly connected to the cover, a first actuator interface arm hingedly connected to the second pivot point of the first holder, and a second actuator interface arm hingedly connected to the second pivot point of the second holder.

System and method for preparation of a sample

A storage tray populator configured to populate a storage rack with a plurality of biological sample containers is provided. The storage tray populator may include a randomizer configured to receive the biological sample containers and randomly distribute the biological sample containers. Further, a transport apparatus may transport the biological sample containers from the randomizer to the storage rack. Additionally, a controller may control at least the transport apparatus. Thereby storage trays may be populated, and access to a desired biological sample may be improved. Methods for populating storage racks with a plurality of biological sample containers are also provided.
