The Way To Successfully Ship Semen. Guaranteed!

Compared to other systems that do not actively control semen temperature the Ship-mate slowly cools down and holds 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.

How It Works

Ship-Mate will make a huge difference in your ability to ship chilled semen reliably. 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 vacuum 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.

The internal heater controls the semen temperature  heater. The sample  is slowly cooled over 4 hours from room temp to 5°C/41°F , 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. The temperature is then held at 5°C  for trips lasting up to 3 days! 

The whole process is automated using Ship-Mate, there is no setup required, just load the box with ice packs insert a fresh alkaline battery cell  and Ship-Mate does the rest.
