    Abstract: An apparatus and method for taking a plural number of test samples simultaneously from a frozen meat block packed in a container utilizes a support frame which mounts a fixed table and container clamping device and which supports in sliding relation thereon a movable carriage and multiple drill bit sampling unit. A drive unit, once energized, moves the carriage and multiple drill sampling unit inward or outward by means of a cylinder/piston arrangement connected to the frame at one end and to the carriage at the other. A second motor drive unit drives the multiple drill bits. Means is provided for catching and directing the extracted meat samples to a container situated beneath the sampling drill bits and which moves inward and outward with the carriage as it moves on the support frame.
