China ECI-400 Sperm Density Meter: Reliable Semen Density Analysis for Pigs from Trusted Suppliers and Factory
Introduction
The ECI-400 Animal Sperm Densitometer is a portable device designed for boar semen quality testing. It is designed for rapid analysis of semen density (range 0-5 billion/ml) by means of optical measurement technology with 98% accuracy. The sperm density meter measures the sperm density of the boar's raw semen (the number of sperm per ml) and then dispenses it according to the standard dilution ratios (2.5-3.5 billion sperm per vial is recommended.) The 2.4-inch LED screen directly displays the density value, and the pipette and cuvette are used to standardise the sampling process, avoiding manual counting errors. Automatic calibration function reduces environmental disturbances (e.g. temperature fluctuations). The test data can be used to guide the scientific dilution of semen, avoiding wastage due to too high a concentration or too low a concentration, thus optimising the utilisation of the boar and reducing reproduction costs. The automatic switch-off function extends battery life and helps farms to improve breeding efficiency.

How to use
-
1
We are going to proceed to the counting of the doses with the device. For that, we will place 10ml of the extender solution in each colorimeter bottle.
-
2
In one of them, we will add 0.4 ml of raw semen using a micro-pipette.
-
3
We turn on the sperm density meter (on/off) and place the standard bottle (the one with the extended solution only).
-
4
and determine the base value (which should be 0.0) via the key (ZERO).
-
5
Next,we take off the bottle standard and replace it for the other one (the one that has extender solution + semen ), previously well mixed, and press the key (READ) obtaining a value.
-
6
After a few seconds a value appears (the case in the photo), try to find the obtained approximation in the table.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the measuring range and accuracy of the ECI-400?
The ECI-400 Animal Sperm Densitometer has a measuring range of 0 to 5 billion/ml (0~0.5bi/ml as per specification details) with an outstanding precision rate of 98% using optical measurement technology.
Q: What is the recommended sperm dilution ratio for boars?
It is recommended to dispense the semen to standard dilution ratios, aiming for a concentration of 2.5 to 3.5 billion sperm per vial to optimize breeding efficiency.
Q: How does the automatic calibration function work?
The automatic calibration function reduces external environmental disturbances, such as temperature fluctuations, ensuring consistent and stable testing results on the farm.
Q: What type of battery does the device use and how long does it last?
The ECI-400 is powered by a 9V6F22 battery and provides a long working life of over 200 hours, supported by an automatic switch-off feature to conserve power.
Q: How do you zero the device before testing?
To set the base value, turn on the device, place the standard bottle containing only 10ml of extender solution into the chamber, and press the "ZERO" key until the screen displays 0.0.
Q: What are the physical dimensions and weight of the ECI-400?
The device is highly portable and lightweight, measuring 192*103*67mm with a net weight of only 290g, making it easy to carry around the farm.
