Description
Progeny Systems OPTIBREED SQA III Poultry Sperm Analyzer w/ Pipette & PSU
The Progeny Systems OPTIBREED SQA III (AviMate SQA III) is a portable sperm quality analyzer designed for rapid, quantitative evaluation of poultry semen in chickens and turkeys. It combines optical densitometry with an internal preprogrammed algorithm to deliver results in approximately 60 seconds — without the need for a trained microscopist or costly Computer-Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) hardware.

Applications
The OPTIBREED SQA III is used in commercial poultry breeding operations and research settings to assess semen quality before artificial insemination. By measuring the ratio of motile sperm cells to total sperm cells, it gives technicians a reliable, repeatable %Motility figure that supports accurate semen dilution decisions — a critical factor in maximizing fertilization rates in large-scale poultry AI programs. Traditional alternatives require either visual microscopy by a trained specialist or expensive CASA systems; the OPTIBREED replaces both with a self-contained, field-portable instrument that any trained technician can operate. It is commonly used in broiler breeder and turkey tom collection programs, as well as in university and government poultry research facilities studying semen physiology and cryopreservation protocols.
This Progeny Systems OPTIBREED SQA III Poultry Sperm Quality Analyzer is new from the manufacturer and has not been used. As an open-box item, it may have been stored for an extended period or removed from its original factory packaging, and consumable components (cuvettes, pipette tips) may be past their labeled expiration date — buyers should confirm consumable viability before use. The analyzer unit, Hamilton Softgrip Pipette, 18V power supply, instruction manual, and training CD are all present as pictured. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
