The 590B Densimeter is a multipurpose instrument capable of quick, accurate estimations of stallion sperm concentration and/or Foal IgG antibody levels. Each Densimeter kit is pre-loaded with the calibration for the specified operation. The 590B Densimeter can hold two calibrations at a time and additional calibrations may be purchased and loaded as needed. This Densimeter also includes a built-in function to directly displays the optical transmission percentage of the sample. Alternate species calibrations are available for the 590B Densimeter to measure Bull, Boar, Canine, Rooster, and Turkey sperm concentration.
All calculations on processing semen must be performed manually unless the 590B Densimeter is connected to a computer running the optional E-Z Records™ Equine Software. E-Z Records™ Equine Software must be purchased separately.
The 590B Densimeter / E-Z Records™ Equine software combination will solve the same calculations performed by its larger cousin, the 591B Densimeter. This combination is also designed to keep track of information about the farm, stallions, collections, doses and booked mares for the user. Convenient reports on each collection, stallion, and mare may be printed, as well as dose shipment reports.
