Renewing
nitrogen service
By the end of January we will send out invoices for those of you who prefer to prepay
liquid nitrogen service (for recharging your semen tanks) for the
calendar year. If you currently pay
for each fill after delivery, this is a reminder you can still choose an annual
prepay option. The prepay rates for
this year represent a 15% discount off what we will invoice for each fill.
If you might wish to prepay nitrogen service and thus avoid the six or seven individual bills that we will leave after each refill, there is still time to sign up. We also will be continuing the rate reductions for seasonal storage of your semen tank/inventory at our office, should you not use your tank all year long.
Care and
preservation of semen tanks, handling semen and embryos
We are sending each
“prepay” customer a useful reference covering these above topics. Mark will have copies he will leave with you
if you are being billed after each refill.
If you are worried about the performance of an older semen tank, we encourage
measuring the nitrogen level in the tank between route visits. Mark will be leaving you a “dipping
yardstick” near your tank on your next refill to help you do this, which has
our phone number in case of a tank “emergency”.
We are stocking three sizes of new tanks now, and occasionally have good used tanks as well. (Your older tank will still have “trade-in” value and we find homes for them with clinics and tool shops where nothing perishable is being stored in them.)
There are
some tank accessories available that may help you:
(1) tank jackets protect the finish on your tank’s
surface
(2) tank lights an aid to seeing into canisters to
minimize “lifting” exposure of semen
