摘要： The present disclosure relates to an automated system for sampling an egg that includes an egg manipulator to hold and orient one or more eggs in a defined position; an opener for opening the outer shell of the egg; an extractor for removing a sample from the allantois of the egg, and which preferably includes a system to apply increased gas pressure to the extractor up to the moment of contact with the egg; a system to clean the opener or extractor before or after removing a sample from the egg; and a sealing unit for closing the opening of the egg with a sealer.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method for non-destructively identifying a characteristic of a Gallus Gallus domesticus embryo in ovo, the method comprising:
(a) obtaining a sample of material associated with an egg comprising the embryo, and
(b) measuring a score value for the presence of, and concentration of at least a first biomarker in the sample indicative of the characteristic of the embryo, and
(c) applying a threshold to the score value and concentration obtained in (b) to identify the characteristic for the embryo associated with the presence and concentration of the biomarker, wherein an at least first biomarker comprises an amino compound having a molecular weight in the range of from 140 to 190 g/mole, wherein step (c) further comprises:
(i) correlating each relevant biomarker signal with a reference biomarker by matching the spectrum of each correlating signal with the expected spectrum of the correlating reference biomarker using a similarity measure, to define at least one positively correlating signal;
(ii) measuring the intensity of each positively correlating signal and scoring its absolute and/or relative signal intensity; and
(iii) applying a threshold to the score value obtained from a similarity function to determine the correlated embryo characteristic.-

摘要： The present invention relates to a method for determining a characteristic of one or more eggs in an automated manner, comprising the steps of: a. extracting a sample from one or more eggs in an automated manner; i. holding and transferring the sample through one or more instruments to a unit for holding one or more samples; ii. ejecting an aliquot from the sample by applying sound or light energy to at least an amount of the sample; iii. entraining the ejected aliquot in a gas or liquid stream; and iv. transporting the ejected aliquot to a mass spectrometer using the gas or liquid stream; and b. analyzing the sample or an aliquot thereof in an automated manner in a mass spectrometer for the absence or presence and the amount of one or more molecules, to determine one or more characteristics of the egg.
