Semen Thaw Cup

The Semen Thaw Cup is a portable thermostatically controlled water-bath unit designed for thawing frozen semen straws before livestock artificial insemination. It provides a stable and repeatable thawing environment for breeding technicians, herd managers and veterinary reproduction teams.

The compact structure integrates a water chamber, heating system, temperature sensor, control components and protective housing into one convenient unit. Depending on the selected configuration, AC and DC power options support use in breeding rooms, livestock barns and mobile A.I. service vehicles.

For common bovine artificial insemination procedures, comparable professional thaw units operate at approximately 95–98°F. Actual thawing temperature and exposure time should always follow the semen supplier's recommended protocol.

• Controlled Water Bath: Thermostatic regulation helps maintain consistent temperature during semen straw preparation.
• Portable Construction: Compact design supports convenient use in breeding rooms, barns and mobile A.I. operations.
• AC/DC Power Options: Configurations are available for stationary farm use and vehicle-powered field service.
• Operating Indicators: Visual indicators help technicians identify heating and ready conditions.
• Durable Housing: Robust polymer construction protects heating and control components during regular livestock operations.
• Convenient Handle: Integrated carrying structure simplifies transport between breeding locations.
• Simple Operation: Designed for straightforward filling, preheating, thawing and cleaning procedures.
• Easy Maintenance: Accessible water chamber simplifies routine draining and sanitation.
• OEM Capability: Electrical configuration, accessories, branding and packaging can be customized according to project requirements.

• Semen straw holder or basket, depending on configuration

Clean water is added to the internal chamber and heated by an electric heating element. A temperature sensor monitors the water bath while the thermostatic control system regulates heater operation to maintain the required temperature range.

After the bath reaches the specified temperature, frozen semen straws are transferred from the liquid nitrogen storage container into the warm water. The straws remain in the bath for the period specified by the semen supplier before being removed, dried and prepared for artificial insemination.

The controlled water-bath principle supports consistent semen handling procedures and helps reduce unnecessary temperature variation during preparation.

Product configuration can be developed according to local electrical standards, farm operating conditions and project procurement requirements.

Installation: Place the thaw cup on a stable and dry working surface in the breeding room, livestock barn or service vehicle. No complicated fixed installation is normally required.

Water Filling: Add clean water to the recommended working level before connecting the power supply.

Preheating: Allow the water bath to reach and stabilize at the required temperature before introducing frozen semen straws.

Operation: Follow the semen supplier's recommended thawing temperature and exposure time for the specific semen product.

Cleaning: Disconnect electrical power before draining or cleaning. Empty the chamber after operation and wipe accessible surfaces clean.

Routine Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cable, adapter, housing, lid and temperature-control components. Keep all electrical connections dry.

Storage: Store the unit clean and dry and protect it from freezing temperatures, excessive impact and aggressive livestock-house chemicals.

Semen thaw cups can be supplied individually or as part of complete livestock artificial insemination equipment packages for commercial farms, breeding centers, veterinary service companies, genetics organizations and agricultural equipment distributors.

For livestock housing and steel structure farm projects, the equipment can be incorporated into centralized breeding-room packages together with semen storage equipment, A.I. tools and reproductive management accessories.

OEM specifications, distributor branding, accessories and project packaging are available according to order requirements.

Q1: What is a semen thaw cup used for?
It provides a controlled warm-water bath for thawing frozen semen straws before livestock artificial insemination.

Q2: What temperature is commonly used for bovine semen thawing?
Comparable professional thaw units commonly operate at approximately 95–98°F. The correct temperature and thawing time should always follow the semen supplier's instructions.

Q3: Can the unit be used in a vehicle?
Yes. Models equipped with a compatible DC power adapter can support mobile artificial insemination and field breeding services.

Q4: Can it operate from an AC power source?
Yes. AC or AC/DC configurations are available according to project requirements.

Q5: Does the thaw cup require permanent installation?
No. It is normally designed as portable or tabletop livestock breeding equipment.

Q6: Can the voltage and plug standard be customized?
Yes. Electrical specifications can be configured according to destination-country requirements.
