A syringe housing has a space that is sized for accommodating a syringe containing a fluid to be dispensed. The syringe is insertable into the syringe housing through an opening at a first end of the syringe housing, and a nozzle configured to engage a dispensing tip of the syringe is located at a second end of the syringe housing opposite to the first end. A syringe adaptor, which includes a pneumatic connector that is connectable to a gas supply for introducing a gas into an air chamber enclosed within the syringe housing and the syringe, is removably coupled to the syringe housing for retaining the syringe after it has been inserted into the syringe housing. The gas is operative in use to apply a force inside the syringe to drive dispensation of the fluid through the nozzle.
