Soluble powder for cleaning glass tips and insemination cannulas, removes protein-based residues.
Schley cleaning powder for dissolving dried semen and albumin residues from the glass tips and capillaries of an instrumental insemination set. 30 g sachet.
A dirty capillary does not fail: it deceives. It still draws and still releases, but no longer the same amount — and it carries material from one queen over to the next.
01 · THE DILUTIONS
It dissolves in water: 5 g per litre for a normal day's soiling and 10 g when the residue has been dry for a while. Soak for 10 to 20 minutes.
The 30 g sachet makes about six litres at 0.5 %. It works on protein residue without attacking the glass or leaving a film.
02 · THE RINSE
What decides the result is not the soak but what comes after. Rinse with distilled water: tap water leaves limescale inside a capillary a few tenths of a millimetre wide, and that is where the next residue catches.
And dry it thoroughly before loading: a single drop inside the tip dilutes the dose.
03 · WHAT WILL NOT DISSOLVE
If something stays stuck, run the dedicated cleaning wire through. Nothing abrasive goes near glass: a tip scratched on the inside stops sliding.
