ECI-400 Sperm Density Meter for Pigs - High-Quality Semen Analysis from China Factory Suppliers
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
-
1We 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.
-
2In one of them, we will add 0.4 ml of raw semen using a micro-pipette.
-
3We turn on the sperm density meter (on/off) and place the standard bottle (the one with the extended solution only).
-
4And determine the base value (which should be 0.0) via the key (ZERO).
-
5Next, 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.
-
6After a few seconds a value appears (the case in the photo), try to find the obtained approximation in the table.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the testing accuracy of the ECI-400 Animal Sperm Densitometer?
The ECI-400 utilizes advanced optical measurement technology to deliver rapid analysis of boar semen density with a high precision rate of 98%.
What is the recommended sperm density per vial for boar semen dilution?
According to standard breeding practices, a dilution concentration of 2.5 to 3.5 billion sperm per vial is recommended to optimize semen utilization and reproduction efficiency.
How does the automatic calibration function benefit the testing process?
The automatic calibration function reduces external environmental disturbances, such as temperature fluctuations, ensuring consistent and stable measurement results.
What type of battery does the ECI-400 use and what is its expected life?
The device is powered by a 9V6F22 battery, offering a working time of over 200 hours. It also features an automatic switch-off function to help extend battery life.
How do you zero the ECI-400 before reading a semen sample?
Place the standard bottle containing only the 10ml extender solution into the device, and press the "ZERO" key to determine the base value (0.0) before testing your mixed sample.
