Electronic Balance for Pig Artificial Insemination

The Electronic Balance for Pig Artificial Insemination is a compact laboratory weighing instrument designed for boar studs, pig artificial insemination centers, semen processing laboratories and commercial breeding farms.

With a maximum weighing capacity of 2000 g and a readability of 0.1 g, the balance is suitable for routine weighing of collected boar ejaculates, semen containers and materials used during semen processing. Accurate and repeatable weighing helps laboratory personnel standardize semen handling, dilution and dose preparation procedures.

The unit features a clear green digital display, simple controls, counting functionality and automatic calibration. Its compact benchtop design makes it suitable for daily use alongside microscopes, photometers, semen analyzers, water baths, filling machines and other pig AI laboratory equipment.

The electronic balance features a compact laboratory housing, round weighing platform, front digital display and simple operating controls for routine semen laboratory weighing.

It can be positioned directly on a semen-processing workbench and used together with collection containers, laboratory cups, semen bags and other compatible weighing vessels.

• 2000 g Weighing Capacity: Suitable for routine weighing tasks in boar semen collection and processing laboratories.
• 0.1 g Readability: Provides practical weighing resolution for daily semen laboratory operations.
• Designed for Pig AI Laboratories: Suitable for boar studs, semen production centers, breeding farms and veterinary reproduction laboratories.
• Clear Digital Display: Green digital characters provide convenient reading during routine laboratory work.
• Automatic Calibration: Simplifies regular calibration and helps maintain consistent weighing performance.
• Counting Function: Provides additional functionality for compatible laboratory counting applications.
• Simple Operation: Straightforward controls reduce operator training requirements and support efficient daily workflows.
• Compact Benchtop Design: Requires limited laboratory space and can be positioned close to semen collection and processing equipment.
• AC Powered: Designed for continuous operation from a standard 220 V AC power supply.
• Easy to Clean: The accessible weighing area can be routinely cleaned as part of laboratory hygiene procedures.

The balance measures the load placed on the weighing platform and converts the mechanical force into an electronic signal. The internal electronic system processes the signal and displays the measured mass digitally in grams.

During boar semen collection, an empty collection container can first be weighed or zeroed according to the laboratory procedure. The container containing the collected ejaculate is then placed on the balance to determine the net semen mass.

Where a validated laboratory protocol uses gravimetric estimation of semen volume, the measured semen mass can be incorporated into subsequent calculations for dilution and semen-dose preparation. The measurement should always follow the AI center's established operating procedure and quality-control requirements.

The balance can also be used for general weighing operations during semen processing, including checking containers and prepared materials before dilution, packaging or laboratory analysis.

Technical specifications may be updated according to product configuration. Please confirm the final specification and power supply before ordering.
