1. A method for automated explant preparation, the method comprising:
operating a pump to fill an explant dish including a plurality of explants with an Agrobacterium solution, operating a first robotic arm to move the filled explant dish onto a shaker plate of a shaker station, operating the shaker station to move the shaker plate in a direction within a plane defined by the shaker plate to infect the plurality of explants with the Agrobacterium solution, and operating a second robotic arm to move an explant from the filled explant dish to a predetermined position on a cultivation media dish in response to determining the explant has been infected with the Agrobacterium solution.
