Enrich your frozen semen media with a ready-to-use solution! Developed with UNCEIA and tested by the french animal insemination centers, its enriched formula contains a bovine semen specific additive which improves the non-return rates of bad or mediocre fertility bulls. In vitro tested with an IVOS CASA and in vivo tested on 3,600 first A.I. (1,800 with Oxyfree Premix, 1,800 with test samples), the Frozen Semen Oxyfree Premix brings significant results for 30% to 50% of bulls.
Does not contain any product of animal origin.
1 litre sterile water (by 10) (4)
100 ml Bioxcell QSF 500 ml (by 10) (1)
Bioxcell's innovative animal protein-free formula eliminates the health risks associated with the use of milk and/or egg yolk for the final dilution of bovine semen.
Media for frozen (-196°C) or fresh semen (+4°C). Semen diluted in Bioxcell can be processed at refrigeration temperature (+4ºC) or room temperature (+20ºC).
It has been proven to maintain good fertility in semen doses containing low concentrations of sperm cells.
Bioxcell contains an antibiotic mix of Lincomycin, Spectinomycin, Gentamycin and Tylosin.
Ochre colored, this sterile concentrated liquid is presented in 100 ml PET biocompatible, unbreakable bottle. Easy to use, 1 bottle of Bioxcell is diluted in 400 ml of water for a final extended, ready to use volume of 500 ml.
Due to the absence of egg yolk and/or milk, Bioxcell is clear after dilution. This makes diluted semen easy to evaluate under the microscope or CASA System.
Bioxcell may be frozen at -20ºC after extension.

La Sapaie
La Sapaie experimental station was inaugurated in 1981 with the aim of furthering deeper research into IMV Technologies' Artificial Insemination and Embryo Transfer products and their practical applications. Right from the outset the station became "the heart" of IMV Technologies, which has advanced in a spectacular fashion thanks to the enthusiasm and devotion of the people who work there, in collaboration with researchers from INRA (French leading Agronomical Research Institute ) and from all To this research work are added expertise, customer advice, teaching, training and the dissemination of information. Within this programme, thousands of professionals from France and abroad have been trained in insemination and embryo transfer techniques in many species: cattle, pigs, poultry, rabbits, sheep, goats, horses, as well as fish, dogs, cats and even camels. La SAPAIE experimental station is a practical illustration of IMV Technologies' commitment to the creation, anticipation, encouragement and integration of scientific advances enabling animal reproduction techniques to be developed.
