What Is an Artificial Insemination Tank and What Is It Used For?

Artificial insemination tanks are designed for the transportation and storage of animal semen, embryos, and similar biological samples used in insemination processes, safely preserved in liquid nitrogen.

Artificial Insemination Tank Features

Artificial insemination tanks generally consist of an inner and outer structure, with a vacuum applied between these two layers. This vacuum insulation ensures the preservation of liquid nitrogen at extremely low temperatures and protects the biological samples stored inside.

Artificial Insemination Equipment Types and Tanks

One of the many pieces of equipment used in artificial insemination, liquid nitrogen tanks generally feature a canister-based system.
Liquid nitrogen tanks are used with straws of various volumes that are ready to be placed into the tank. These straws are placed into goblets of suitable diameters. The goblets can be placed directly into the canisters, or first into canes, which are then placed into the canisters.

Artificial Insemination Tank Prices

There are tanks available in different volumes and capacities depending on the user’s needs.
Since these tanks are generally imported, prices may vary depending on current exchange rates, tank capacity, accessories supplied with the tank (canisters, goblets, straws, canes, etc.), and overall tank quality.
When selecting a tank, users should pay close attention to criteria such as vacuum quality and daily evaporation rate.

Vacuum quality and daily evaporation rate are critical factors when selecting a tank. We strongly recommend paying close attention to these criteria.

Artificial Insemination Tank Brands

Today, there are many brands available. One of the most well-known is Taylor Wharton. Taylor Wharton is now manufactured under the name Worthington.
As Labor İldam Laboratory Equipment, we are the official distributor in Turkey for the IC Biomedical (Worthington, Taylor Wharton) and Haier brands. Both brands offer liquid nitrogen tanks in various volumes and with different technical features.

Artificial Insemination Tanks Suitable for Veterinarians

The AI SHIELD (Artificial Insemination Shield) model tanks produced by Worthington (Taylor Wharton) specifically for artificial insemination feature a canister system that protects samples from temperature fluctuations that may occur when canisters are removed from the tank. This helps prevent a decrease in sample viability, resulting in higher pregnancy rates and increased productivity.
Worthington also offers the AI-91K model, a high-capacity tank specially designed for semen and embryo production centers. This model has a capacity of 94,240 units for 0.5 cc straws and 263,872 units for 0.25 cc straws. With very low LN2 consumption, samples can be stored in either liquid or vapor phase, and the internal temperature and liquid nitrogen level can be monitored via the control panel.
Our products specially designed for semen and embryo production centers can be accessed via the Semen and Embryo Tanks link. You may also request a price quotation or a product presentation.
