Dip Stick

An AI Dip Stick is a measuring tool used with liquid nitrogen semen storage containers to determine the amount of liquid nitrogen remaining in the tank. It helps livestock technicians, veterinarians, and artificial insemination (AI) service providers monitor nitrogen levels to ensure frozen semen remains safely stored at the required temperature.

Key Features

• Made from durable stainless steel or aluminium.
• Designed for accurate liquid nitrogen level measurement.
• Lightweight and easy to handle.
• Corrosion-resistant for long service life.
• Suitable for use with most AI liquid nitrogen containers.

Benefits

• Enables quick monitoring of liquid nitrogen levels.
• Helps prevent accidental thawing of stored semen.
• Supports proper maintenance of AI storage tanks.
• Reduces the risk of semen loss due to insufficient nitrogen.
• Durable and reusable for routine inspections.

Common Applications

• Artificial insemination centres
• Veterinary clinics
• Dairy farms
• Beef cattle operations
• Livestock breeding programmes
• AI technicians and field service providers

Specifications

How to Use

1. Carefully remove the tank lid while minimizing exposure to ambient air.
2. Insert the AI dip stick vertically until it reaches the bottom of the liquid nitrogen container.
3. Hold it in place for a few seconds.
4. Remove the dip stick and observe the frost line formed by the liquid nitrogen.
5. Compare the frost line with the graduated markings (or use the tank’s calibration chart) to estimate the remaining liquid nitrogen level.
6. Replace the tank lid promptly after measurement.

Care & Maintenance

• Keep the dip stick clean and dry after use.
• Inspect regularly for bends or damage.
• Store in a clean, dry location.
• Handle carefully to maintain measurement accuracy.

Safety Information

• Wear appropriate cryogenic gloves and eye protection when handling liquid nitrogen.
• Avoid prolonged skin contact with liquid nitrogen or frosted surfaces.
• Keep the tank open only for the minimum time necessary to reduce nitrogen loss.
• Follow all safety procedures recommended for handling cryogenic equipment.

Ideal For

• Artificial insemination technicians
• Veterinarians
• Dairy farmers
• Beef cattle producers
• Livestock breeding centres
• AI equipment distributors

The AI Dip Stick is an essential accessory for monitoring liquid nitrogen levels in semen storage containers, helping ensure the safe preservation of frozen semen and reliable performance of artificial insemination programmes.
