Abstract
An electric cauter for sterilization of the opening through which embryonated egg is inoculated is described. The apparatus consists of a transformer, a rheostat, two leads, and a nichrome wire tip; the latter serves as a hot point. The temperature that develops at the tip is approximately 1000 °C. and, therefore, instantaneous application of the hot point to the hole in the egg shell results in absolute sterilization of the area.
