  • Method for manipulating avian eggs
    Patent number: 5897998
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for manipulating the contents of eggs. An opening is made in the egg shell, without breaking the underlying egg shell membrane, and an aqueous liquid is deposited over the opening such that the opening is completely covered. The underlying egg shell membrane is then cut away. The introduction of air bubbles into the interior of the egg upon cutting of the underlying egg shell membrane is prevented by the drawing of the aqueous liquid into the opening. A desired solution may be microinjected through the opening and the opening sealed.
