SCA® , THE MOST ADVANCED AND INTEGRATED MODULAR CASA SYSTEM
SCA® is a modular automatic system for the analysis of semen samples, according to pre-defined criteria, for most of the vertebrates (mammals, avian, reptile, amphibian and fish) and invertebrates (e.g. echinoderms and molluscs).
FLEXIBLE AND EXHAUSTIVE
DETAILED ANALYSIS AND QUANTIFICATION
Allows the accurate and objective analysis of a wide range of sperm kinematics, morphological, DNA and vitality parameters, as well as defining new analysis settings that adapt to new animal species or breeds.
STANDARDIZATION AND TRACEABILITY
The SCA® greatly improves the ability of the laboratory to accurately analyse motility sequences for motility analysis and sperm images for morphology, DNA fragmentation, vitality and acrosome reaction. Measurement errors due to human factors are minimized in the analysis of animal sperm.
RELIABLE DATA FOR SCIENTIFIC PAPERS
SCA® system has been widely used in animal research, being versatile enough to suit a wide range of animal species, from invertebrates to mammals, including rodents and has even proven to be useful in the study of microalgae counting.
AUTOMATION
With a motorized stage fitted to the microscope the analysis process becomes fully automatic enabling the examination of 4 slides or counting chambers consecutively, without the presence of the operator.
SCA® TOXICOLOGY: A NEW RAT AND MOUSE SCA® HAS BEEN DEVELOPED
Ideal for testing various drugs, chemicals and radiations for their toxicity. This system adheres to 21 CFR1 1 guidelines.
PORTABLE SYSTEM
The laptop configuration allows the SCA® to be transported almost anywhere in the field, enabling e.g. animal fertility studies in situ, during the breeding season.
SCA® PRODUCTION MAIN FEATURES
Includes a user-friendly animal database that permits the management of the results, identification data as well as obtaining statistics. Full report includes images and graphs. In addition, a summary report by animal and date can be easily obtained and exported to several formats.
High quality hardware components:
Phase contrast microscope with heating stage, digital Basler camera and control unit computer (optional motorized stage to do the process automatically). Can be connected to a digital scale and barcode reader allowing a quicker data insertion.
Compatible with existing software or databases.
Can be plugged into a semen filling, sealing and labeling machine, automatizing the whole procedure of cryopreservation and making it faster.
Any disposable analysis chamber can be used.
Technical Support is available, with remote Internet connection.
