• Protocol for Thawing Bull / Stallion Semen for the Purposes of Insemination:
• Prepare water bath as usual –
regulate water to desired temperature.
• Place the Tri-Vortex™ Thawing Plunger Assembly into the water –
make sure that water level is very close to, but not above the level of
the opening in the Thawing Plunger Assembly.
• Leave plunger in water for 5 minutes before starting the thawing
process.
• When you are ready and set up, take a straw out of the liquid
nitrogen and place it upright into the opening of the Thawing Plunger
Assembly (pith side of the straw pointing upwards).
• When the thawing time has expired, remove the complete Thawing
Plunger Assembly from the water bath and wipe off excess water. Place it
on the counter or worktop.
• Leave the straw in the Thawing Plunger Assembly for a further 5-7
minutes or until you are ready to inseminate.
• When you are ready to inseminate, proceed as per usual.
