600ml Portable Frozen Sperm Thawing Thermostat Cup, commonly used in animal husbandry for cattle and pigs.

This product is a critical piece of equipment for modern artificial insemination (AI) programs, designed to safely and efficiently thaw frozen semen straws.

 Product Overview

This is a portable, thermostatically controlled water bath specifically designed for thawing frozen semen straws. Its primary function is to maintain a **precise and constant temperature** (typically 35°C to 37°C) to ensure the optimal survival and motility of sperm cells after thawing.

Key Features & Specifications

Capacity: 600ml. This is a standard and practical size, large enough to hold water and several straws simultaneously, yet portable.

Temperature Control:Most important feature.** It uses a built-in thermostat and heating element to maintain a set temperature. The accuracy is usually within ±0.5°C.

Display:Equipped with a digital LED or LCD screen that shows the real-time water temperature.

Power Source:Typically powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (via USB charging) and/or a DC car charger (cigarette lighter plug). This makes it fully **portable for field use** (e.g., in barns, pastures, or farms without easy AC power access).

Construction:

Inner Chamber:Made of stainless steel or high-quality aluminum for even heat distribution and corrosion resistance.

Outer Insulation:Plastic or insulated casing to maintain temperature and protect the user.

Lid:Comes with an insulated lid to minimize heat loss and keep contaminants out.

The standard procedure using this cup is:

1.  Preparation: Fill the cup with clean water to the recommended level. Turn it on and set the temperature to the **exact specification required by the semen provider** (commonly **35°C for bovine** and **37°C for porcine** semen). Allow it to stabilize.

2.  Thawing:Once the temperature is stable, quickly remove the frozen semen straw(s) from the liquid nitrogen tank and immediately immerse them in the water bath.

3.  Timing:Submerge for the precise time recommended (e.g., **30-45 seconds for cattle**, **45-60 seconds for pigs**). The straw(s) should be held upright, with the cotton plug or sealed end above water.

4. Immediate Use: After thawing, the straw is dried, loaded into an AI gun, and insemination is performed promptly to maximize conception rates.

Why Temperature Precision is Critical

Too Cold (<35°C): Incomplete thawing, low sperm motility, poor fertility results.

Too Hot (>40°C):Thermal shock kills sperm cells, destroying the straw's value.

Fluctuating Temperature: Stresses sperm, reducing viability and lifespan.

This device eliminates the guesswork and inconsistency of using a cup of hot water, which cools rapidly and is a common cause of AI failure.

Advantages

*   **Portability:** Essential for vets and technicians working in remote farm locations.

*   **Consistency & Accuracy:** Drastically improves post-thaw sperm quality and AI success rates compared to non-controlled methods.

*   **Efficiency:** Quick heat-up and recovery time.

*   **Durability:** Built to withstand the rigors of farm use.

*   **Ease of Use:** Simple operation with clear digital controls.
