Seed and Feed Samplers
Star Quality Seed and Feed Samplers feature sampling slot direction indicator, a solid tapered tip, open handle design for direct collection into sample bag and knurled handle for ease of operation. All probes and components are constructed from stainless steel.
Star seed samplers have been developed in consultation with, and are used by, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the Departments of Agriculture in Louisiana and Ohio. Star seed samplers have been designed to meet International Seed Testing Association (ISTA) guidelines and recommendations.
