Q: What is the BC-168L designed for?
A: It is specifically designed for controlled storage of extended liquid boar semen used in pig artificial insemination programs.

Q: What is the cabinet capacity?
A: The nominal internal capacity is 168 liters.

Q: How many semen bags can it hold?
A: The listed capacity is approximately 300 semen bags, depending on package dimensions and arrangement.

Q: What temperature is used for boar semen storage?
A: The standard setpoint is approximately 17°C. The exact storage requirement should follow the semen extender supplier's recommendations and laboratory protocol.

Q: Does the BC-168L provide both heating and cooling?
A: Yes. The cabinet automatically uses refrigeration or heating as required to maintain the selected temperature under changing ambient conditions.

Q: Why does the cabinet use forced-air circulation?
A: Internal air circulation helps reduce temperature differences between shelves and provides more uniform conditions around stored semen doses.

Q: How many trays are included?
A: The listed configuration includes five storage trays.

Q: What are the cabinet dimensions?
A: The listed internal dimensions are 420 × 380 × 945 mm, while the external dimensions are approximately 500 × 520 × 1550 mm.

Q: Is an independent temperature logger recommended?
A: Yes. A calibrated thermometer or temperature data logger is useful for independent verification, quality assurance, and storage traceability.

Q: Can an ordinary household refrigerator replace this cabinet?
A: A dedicated semen storage cabinet is preferred because it is designed to operate near the temperature required for liquid boar semen and can provide both heating and cooling with controlled internal air circulation.

Q: Where is the BC-168L typically used?
A: It is suitable for boar studs, pig AI centers, semen production laboratories, genetic companies, commercial pig farms, veterinary reproduction facilities, and breeding research centers.
