BioChill 3-Day Canine Semen Extender

Short-Term Semen Preservation for Chilled Transport

How to Use BioChill 3-Day Extender:

  1. Pre-Use Preparation:

    • Before use, ensure that BioChill 3-Day Extender is stored at the correct temperature. Keep the extender refrigerated between 2°C - 8°C (36°F - 46°F).

  2. Mixing Instructions:

    • Mix the semen with BioChill 3-Day Extender at a 2:1 ratio (2 parts semen to 1 part extender).

    • Stir gently to ensure even distribution without damaging the spermatozoa.

  3. Application:

    • Once mixed, the semen can be used immediately for fresh artificial insemination or stored for up to 72 hours at a temperature of 4°C (39°F).

  4. Storage Guidelines:

    • Store the extended semen in a sterile container at the recommended temperature.

    • Always use within 72 hours for best results.

Tips:

  • Optimize Storage: Use insulated containers to maintain the correct temperature during transport.

  • Avoid Freezing: BioChill 3-Day is specifically for chilled storage and should not be frozen.

  • Quick Insemination: For the best results, inseminate within the first 24-48 hours after preparation.

BioChill 10-Day Canine Semen Extender

Long-Term Semen Preservation for Extended Chilled Transport

​

How to Use BioChill 10-Day Extender:

  1. Pre-Use Preparation:

    • Like the 3-Day Extender, keep BioChill 10-Day refrigerated at 2°C - 8°C (36°F - 46°F).

  2. Mixing Instructions:

    • Combine the semen with BioChill 10-Day Extender at a ratio of 2 parts semen to 1 part extender.

    • Mix gently to maintain sperm integrity.

  3. Application:

    • After mixing, the semen is ready for use or chilled storage.

    • BioChill 10-Day is designed to keep the sperm motile and viable for up to 10 days.

  4. Storage Guidelines:

    • Ensure the semen is stored in sterile containers at 2°C - 8°C during transport and storage.

    • For best results, use the semen within the first 5-7 days to maintain high motility, though it can last up to 10 days.

Tips:

  • Extended Transport: Ideal for international shipments or when insemination is delayed.

  • Monitor Motility: Use a microscope or sperm analyzer to check motility every 48 hours during storage.

  • Use Insulated Containers: For long-distance shipments, ensure proper temperature maintenance with insulated containers.

BioChill AI Enhancer

Motility-Boosting Solution for Artificial Insemination

How to Use BioChill AI Enhancer:

  1. Pre-Use Preparation:

    • Store BioChill AI Enhancer at 38°C (100°F) before use to ensure the solution is at optimal working temperature.

  2. Mixing Instructions:

    • Mix 2 parts semen to 1 part BioChill AI Enhancer. This ratio ensures that sperm motility and viability are maximized during the insemination process.

  3. Application:

    • Once mixed, BioChill AI Enhancer should be used immediately for vaginal AI, transcervical insemination (TCI), or surgical insemination. The enhancer provides an ideal medium for spermatozoa to travel, increasing their motility and success in reaching the egg.

  4. Storage Guidelines:

    • If not used immediately, store the mixture at 4°C (39°F) for short-term use. Use within 7 days for best motility outcomes.

    • Always discard after the indicated expiration date or if sperm motility decreases significantly.

Tips:

  • Use for Low-Volume Semen: When the semen volume is low, BioChill AI Enhancer creates a productive environment, ensuring higher sperm motility and better fertilization outcomes.

  • Motility Boost: If dealing with poor-quality semen, BioChill AI Enhancer can increase the motility of the sperm, helping the weaker spermatozoa reach the egg.

  • Flush Insemination Catheters: BioChill AI Enhancer can also be used to flush catheters, ensuring no sperm cells are left behind.
