ISO PlantSampler

Collecting DNA material from young plants is an important step in the crop breeding process. This process allows breeders to analyze the genetic characteristics of plants and assess whether they exhibit the desired traits. Previously, this process was performed manually, which was time-consuming and prone to human error. The ISO PlantSampler provides an automated solution to this issue by automating the sampling process.

Minimizing human error

Automating the plant sampling process with the ISO PlantSampler minimizes human error. The machine performs the tasks with consistent precision, ensuring accurate and reliable DNA samples. In addition, automation reduces the risk of contamination and infection, as the machine's gripper can be disinfected at set times or moments. This ensures an infection-free environment and maintains the integrity of the DNA samples.

3D imaging for detailed information

In addition to collecting DNA samples, the ISO PlantSampler also provides data collection and analysis capabilities. By creating a 3D image of the sampled young plants, detailed information is obtained about their morphological characteristics and structure. This data can then be analyzed to understand genetic variability and support the selection of desirable traits. This makes the ISO PlantSampler not only a tool for automating the sampling process, but also a valuable tool for genetic analysis and breeding research.
