ABSTRACT:
The invention is an apparatus for automatically injecting eggs with a desired fluid such as a medical vaccine. The inventon eliminates the pumping of fluids through conventional fluid handling systems and thereby increases the accuracy and precision of volume delivery while eliminating such of the possiblity of contamination of the fluid and the system. The apparatus comprises a syringe having a delivery tip and a portion for containing a predetermined quantity of fluid, a plunger operatively associated with the syringe for intaking and delivering fluids through the delivery tip, a platform for aligning a fluid reservoir with the delivery tip of the syringe so that fluid from the reservoir may be intaken through the delivery tip and into the fluid containing portion, a punch for forming a small opening in the shell of an egg, and horizontally disposed and vertically moveable plates for moving the delivery tip of the syringe through the opening in an egg formed by the punch so that the plunger can deliver a fluid through the delivery tip, through the opening and into the egg to be treated by the fluid.
