The Alpha straw by IMV Technologies is an innovative bovine semen straw technology, guaranteeing precise filling for improved dose safety and reliability in artificial insemination processes.
Pack of 2000 units
The Alpha straw helps to prevent potential losses during thawing.
Its colored plug turns fluorescent when correctly moistened, enabling automatic and / or visual control of the plug’s moisture level.
When a straw is poorly sealed, it may explode during thawing and becomes thus unusable. The immediate advantage of the Alpha straw is to reduce, thanks to a simple visual control, the number of straws potentially compromised during thawing.
Used in conjunction with the ISevo Alpha filling and sealing machine, the Alpha straw allows automatic control of the plug filling. If the machine does not detect fluorescence, it pauses and alerts the user.
The Alpha straw, like the TBS straw, allows to save semen. It is available in 6 colors, including the SensiTemp Alpha straw (pastel blue). This innovation enhances safety, optimizes productivity and allows centers to produce reliable products.

Alpha straws are semen straws used for artificial insemination. They are designed to ensure identification, traceability, and optimal preservation of semen.
Alpha straws are special design straws with fluorescent agent on the second plug allowing an automatic detection of a well plug moisture during the filling with the Isevo V2 alpha flex and a low-absorption technology.
Alpha straws are typically available in mini or medium sizes, suitable for different animal breeding requirements.
Yes, Alpha straws are compatible with most standard filling and insemination equipment from IMV Technologies.
