HIGH SPEED AUTOMATED INJECTION SYSTEM FOR AVIAN EMBRYOS The invention comprises a high speed automated injection system for avian embryos which can inject eggs with fluid substances. The device includes suction devices which lift eggs out of engagement with surfaces, rather than pushing them, before injecting them. By providing separate mechanisms and devices for first forming an opening in the egg shell and then injecting the avian embryo or the surrounding environment with a fluid substance, the device avoids the undesirable mechanical compromise of using a single needle or punch to both puncture the shell of an egg and deliver fluid substances to the interior of the egg. |
