Abstract:
A device for delivering a predetermined dosage of fluid to an egg injection device, comprising:a syringe, comprising: a barrel having proximal and distal ends; inlet and outlet ports in fluid communication with the barrel; and a plunger adapted for reciprocal movement within the barrel such that fluid is drawn into the barrel through the inlet port by a proximal motion of the plunger, and such that fluid is expelled from the barrel through the outlet port by a distal motion of the plunger; inlet tubing connected to a fluid source at one end and to the syringe inlet port at an opposite end; outlet tubing connected to an egg injection device at one end and to the syringe outlet port at an opposite end; and a flow control apparatus configured to close the outlet tubing closed during proximal motion of the plunger and to close the inlet tubing closed during distal motion of the plunger.
