Zusammenfassung:An automated seed sampler includes a sampling station,a sampler for removing material from a seed in the sampling station,a seed conveyer for conveying the seed from the sampling station to a compartment in a seed tray,and a conveyor for conveying the material removed from the seed to a corresponding compartment in a sample tray. The method of the present invention comprises feeding seeds individually to a sampling station, removing a sample from the seed in the sampling station,conveying the sample to a compartment in a sample tray, and conveying the seed to a corresponding compartment in a seed tray. The samples can be tested, and the seeds can be sorted according to the results of the testing of their corresponding samples.
