CRYOPRESERVATION OF SEMEN
Spectrum – The SBS CryoSystem
The SBS CryoSystem consists of a range of Spectrum freezing extenders, which feature different cryoprotectants and specific different egg yolk or milk content. The Spectrum concept allows to identify the best freezing extender for each individual stallion. All Spectrum extenders are presented as ready to use solutions. There is no need to source individual components or to add antibiotics.
With Spectrum extenders and the SBS CryoSystem it is now possible to achieve pregnancy rates with frozen-thawed semen which are comparable to cooled semen. Spectrum extenders are presented in convenient package sizes. Transport and storage at -20°C
