iSperm Portable Boar Semen Analyzer for Pig AI

• The iSperm Portable Boar Semen Analyzer is a mobile computer-assisted semen analysis system designed for rapid evaluation of boar semen in pig artificial insemination centers, breeding farms, boar studs and veterinary reproduction laboratories.
• The system combines a high-resolution optical lens, dedicated sample collector and intelligent analysis software with a compatible iPad. Instead of relying only on manual microscopic observation, the system captures sperm movement digitally and automatically analyzes important semen quality parameters.
• For porcine semen applications, the analyzer can be used to evaluate sperm concentration, total motility and progressive motility. The results help technicians determine semen quality, establish appropriate dilution procedures and prepare artificial insemination doses with more consistent sperm numbers.
• Its compact and portable design makes it suitable for both laboratory and field applications, allowing semen evaluation to be performed close to the point of collection without requiring a conventional full-size CASA workstation.

The portable semen analysis system consists of a high-resolution optical module attached to a compatible iPad, together with a dedicated sample collector, illumination system and analysis software.

The compact configuration allows operators to observe sperm directly on the tablet screen and perform semen analysis without a conventional benchtop microscope and desktop computer system.

• Mobile CASA Technology: Combines digital microscopy and computer-assisted semen analysis in a compact portable system.
• Designed for Boar Semen: Suitable for semen quality evaluation in pig breeding and artificial insemination operations.
• Sperm Concentration Analysis: Automatically estimates sperm concentration to support accurate semen dilution and dose preparation.
• Total Motility Evaluation: Analyzes the proportion of motile sperm cells from recorded microscopic images.
• Progressive Motility Analysis: Helps identify sperm cells showing effective forward movement.
• 200X Equivalent Optical Magnification: Provides microscopic visualization comparable to approximately 200X magnification on a traditional microscope.
• High Optical Resolution: Approximately 1–1.5 μm optical resolution provides clear visualization of individual sperm cells.
• Fast Automatic Analysis: Digital video acquisition and software processing provide results within a short testing cycle.
• Tablet-Based Operation: Semen images and analysis results are displayed directly on a compatible iPad screen.
• Portable Design: Compact size makes the analyzer suitable for laboratories, boar studs, farms and field veterinary applications.
• Dedicated Sample Collector: Standardized sampling components help provide a consistent observation chamber for analysis.
• Long Battery Operation: The sample collector light source can operate for approximately 45 hours using compatible batteries.
• Digital Data Management: Analysis results can be recorded electronically for semen quality monitoring and breeding management.
• Reduced Manual Counting: Automatic image analysis reduces dependence on time-consuming manual sperm concentration counting.
• Multi-Parameter Evaluation: Provides more semen quality information than a conventional optical sperm density meter alone.

A prepared boar semen sample is introduced into the dedicated sample collector or analysis chamber. The collector creates a controlled sample layer suitable for digital microscopic imaging.

The integrated light source illuminates the semen sample while the high-resolution optical lens magnifies the sperm cells. The image is captured by the camera of the connected iPad and displayed on the screen in real time.

The analysis software identifies sperm cells within the recorded microscopic field and tracks their movement during the video sequence. Image-processing algorithms then calculate sperm concentration and motility-related parameters according to the selected species profile.

For boar semen processing, the measured concentration can be combined with ejaculate volume and the target sperm number per insemination dose to support calculation of dilution requirements and potential dose output.

Because semen concentration and motility can be affected by sample preparation, temperature, dilution and contamination, testing should follow a standardized laboratory procedure for consistent results.

Q: What is the iSperm boar semen analyzer used for?
A: It is used for rapid digital evaluation of boar semen, including sperm concentration, total motility and progressive motility.

Q: Is this only a sperm density meter?
A: No. The system provides sperm concentration measurement and can also evaluate important motility parameters, making it more comprehensive than a basic optical density meter.

Q: Does the system require a conventional microscope?
A: No. The dedicated high-resolution optical module works with a compatible iPad camera to provide digital microscopic imaging.

Q: What is the optical magnification?
A: The optical system provides magnification equivalent to approximately 200X on a traditional laboratory microscope.

Q: What is the optical resolution?
A: The listed configuration provides an optical resolution of approximately 1–1.5 μm.

Q: How quickly can semen be analyzed?
A: The referenced porcine configuration uses a short video recording followed by rapid automatic software analysis, allowing results to be obtained much faster than traditional manual counting methods.

Q: Can it measure sperm motility?
A: Yes. Compatible porcine software can evaluate total motility and progressive motility in addition to sperm concentration.

Q: Can it help calculate semen dilution?
A: Yes. Concentration results can be combined with ejaculate volume, semen quality and the target sperm number per dose to support semen dilution and artificial insemination dose preparation.

Q: Is sample dilution required?
A: Sample preparation depends on the semen concentration and the software generation being used. For highest accuracy, semen should be prepared within the recommended analysis range specified for the selected system.

Q: Can the analyzer be used directly on a pig farm?
A: Yes. Its compact optical system and tablet-based operation make it suitable for laboratory, boar stud and mobile field applications.

Q: Does the product include an iPad?
A: Package contents can vary. The compatible iPad may be supplied separately depending on the selected configuration, so the final package should be confirmed before ordering.
