English term or phrase: sample parking stage

What I care most about is giving me a few synonyms that will allow me to better understand the word - "stage" - in the context of the whole phrase and the issue in general.
I would ask for a brief description from you of the purpose of the element named "stage",

Short description:
The Sample Parking Stage for flag style sample plates is commonly used in surface analysis instrumentation. With that in mind, it’s been specifically designed to accommodate Omicron, Specs and Aarhus Flag style sample plates. Its intended use is the storage of multiple samples in the UHV analysis chamber or the sample preparation chamber. The Sample Parking Stage is comprised of a carousel plate or multiple carousels (each of which can accommodate 4 flag style sample plates).

Explanation:
Here I would understand "stage" as the physical location where a step in the processus of analysing the sample is performed - specifically the stage(/step in the processus) that consist in "parking the samples waiting to be analysed"

You could make a parallel with the concept of "staging area" see
