Collection System
Most convenient collection system available in today‘s market
Centrifuge-ready 15 cc collection tubes for semen processing
Colour coded to easily divide fractions
Simple spill-proof design

REF. : 17500/0200

: Components
• Three colour coded funnels (red, blue and white)
• Four 15 cc centrifuge tubes
Your benefits
• Allows evaluation of stud dog penis while being collected
• Colour coded funnels to divide the different ejaculate fractions. Dividing the fractions is always useful in preventing
unwanted bacteria and contaminations by prostatic fluid
• Spill-proof funnel design prevents accidents during the collection process
• Non-spermicidal material are easy to clean, sterilise and re-use
• Samples immediately ready for analysis, centrifugation or extension
: Procedure
Attach a centrifuge tube to the bottom of each collection funnel prior to use.
¬ Red funnel to be used for the first fraction of the ejaculate
¬ Blue funnel to be used for the „Sperm Rich“ second fraction
¬ White funnel to be used for the third fraction (prostatic fluid)
The colour coded system helps to prevent mixing and aids in identifying fractions. Their respective use is suggested to make collec-
tion more efficient. Mixing fractions will adversely affect the quality of collection semen. The funnels allow better visualisation of the
different fractions of the ejaculate, making separation easy. It also helps to identify penis problems like vesicles, lesions, bleeding and
inflammation during full erection.
When the stud dog begins his penile erection, position red funnel close to the tip of the penis to collect the first fraction of
the ejaculate (normally transparent). Avoid touching the penis with the funnel.
At the end of passive production of the first fraction, often when thrusting stops and the dog begins rotating, the “Sperm
Rich” fraction is actively produced, quickly change to the blue funnel to collect the desired sample (normally cloudy).
At the end of spermatic ejaculation, when active contraction of the prostate is observed (contraction of the perineal region),
use the third white funnel to collect the final fraction of the ejaculate (transparent prostatic fluid) which is usually high in
volume.
After collection, remove tube containing the second “Sperm Rich” fraction of the ejaculate from the blue/clear band
funnel. Take sample to the laboratory for sperm evaluation and semen processing. Discard the other two parts of the
ejaculate if not required for any diagnostic tests.

Highly insulated transport box for chilled canine semen

The Minitüb Neopor box has been designed for shipping

canine liquid semen at optimal temperature conditions for
up to 45 hours at +5°C.

The transport box consists of:

• Neopor container
• Two ice packs
• One 10 cc and one 5 cc syringe with caps
• Two 13 cc buffer tubes with lid
• White outer carton

The box is packed in a cardboard shell which provides excellent

protection, space for documents and room for labelling.

Several long term measurement studies under varying

conditions have revealed that semen stored inside the box
holds the optimal temperature for approx. 45 hours. Other
styrofoam transport boxes that were used as controls in
these studies, hardly kept ideal conditions for 24 hours.
