    Description

    Ship-Mate lite Re-Usable Electronic Semen Shipping Thermos
    Over 2000 Consecutive Successful Semen Shipments and Counting
    Compared to other systems like Equitainer, that do not actively control semen temperature. Ship-mate slowly cools down and hold the temperature at exactly 5°C / 41°F. This makes a huge difference in semen viability even on shipments that take up to 3 days. And it is small so overnight and return shipping cost are considerably less.
    The Ship-Mate improves reliability when shipping chilled fresh semen for successful artificial inseminations. Optimum shipping temperature profile; Reusable; Viewable logs. Developed and manufactured  by My Breeder Supply in Elk City, Oklahoma.

    The Ship-Mate:
    • Double walled stainless steel flask. 130mm tall, 90mm in diameter.
    • The flask holds 500ml, but it's recommended you only use 350ml for your shipments to allow room for the battery.
    • Powered by a D sized alkaline battery.
    • Colored led plays back upto 4 days of data
    • Buy once use forever
    Ship-Mate will make a huge difference in your ability to ship chilled semen reliably, I  guarantee it. I have personally sent over 2000 consecutive shipments with out a semen failure in the past few years. This has made my French Bulldog stud service a huge success.  I will ship over 500 times this year! See more info on my stud dog  web site www.lovemypups.com
    The traditional method of shipping chilled semen is by using passive system. Ice packs in the shipping container cool the specimen, but there is no way to control the rate that the specimen is cooled or the final temperature that it is cooled to. The results are inconsistent and unreliable.
    Ship-Mate controls both the cooling rate and final temperature of the specimen.  Ship-Mate uses a double walled stainless steel flask that is surround by ice packs inside an insulated foam shipping box.  The ice packs alone would damage the specimen by cooling it too fast causing Cold Shock and also potentially freezing the specimen.
    A microprocessor, temperature sensor, heater, and memory are the secrets to successfully shipping chilled semen.  The specimen temperature is measured and a small amount of heat is added to the flask thereby controlling the cooling to the ideal rate of 0.5 ¬∞C / minute until the sample reaches 18 ¬∞C.  Then the sample is cooled very slowly at a rate of 1 ¬∞C  every 20 minutes to exactly 5 ¬∞C , this slow cooling rate is necessary to prevent Cold Shock.  For the remainder of the trip the sample is held at 5 ¬∞C the optimum temperature.  It takes about 4.5 hours to properly reach the 5 ¬∞C plateau.
    The whole process is automated using Ship-Mate, there is no setup required, just load the box with ice packs insert a fresh D cell alkaline battery and Ship-Mate does the rest.  Every minute of the trip is logged and can be played back via a red, greed , blue led Ship-Mate will log the data for up to 4 day (more ice and bigger insulated box would be required for a trip that long).
