Find below some of the MARKET DEMANDS and the solutions provided by Licht with the WP-100..
MARKET DEMANDS: In the thawers currently available on the market, the water heating stage is generally performed in a non-uniform fashion, with a slow heat propagation rate in the water, creating hot and cold areas within the container. It greatly adds to the problem of temperature control, as both thermostat and sensor are often positioned at a fixed point. Temperature inconsistencies inside the container may reach up to several degrees centigrade. |
LICHT SOLUTIONS: Thanks to their special materials and design, the WP-100’s container, heating element, temperature sensor and software application were specifically designed to keep water at a steady temperature at all times, regardless the room temperature.  Water is evenly heated inside the cup, without either cold or hot spots. |
MARKET DEMANDS: Other devices in the market use thermostats for temperature control, which have proven to be inaccurate and unsuitable to perform such an important task. Thermostats are bi-metallic components with moving contacts that open and close according to variations in the degrees and thus causes water temperature to fluctuate. Water temperature may then vary between a high (after the thermostat has opened) and a low (after it has closed), both of which are unsuitable for the process, causing semen loss. These deviations are also affected by factors such as: room temperature variations; thermostat position in the container; water volume; and the container’s construction material and shape. Moreover, it’s still common in certain farms to thaw semen without the use of any heating device, causing financial losses to breeders. |
LICHT SOLUTIONS: The WP-100 features state-of-the-art heating capacity with high-precision, micro-processed electronic regulation, ensuring temperature stabilization in the cup either in cold (0 °C) or warm (34 °C) environments, as well as under water. The correct positioning of the heating element and temperature sensor, as well as the container’s superior construction and design, provide a uniform temperature distribution, with neither cold nor hot spots. Licht is known for its strong engineering capabilities and so every device is factory calibrated to temperature standards tested by the Brazilian Technology Research Institute (IPT). Licht employs the same tools that it uses to calibrate its industry-sector products, which are required to be tested at official, INMETRO-certified laboratories and according to Brazilian Calibration Network (RBC) standards. |
MARKET DEMANDS: Many devices are not equipped with thermometers. Others have individual thermometers that, when inserted in water, provide a single-point reading which varies at every measurement. Even digital thermometers can produce serious deviations or failures, and most of them are not calibration-certified. In addition to temperature inaccuracy, they are also subject to damages, breakages, losses, battery failures, etc. Users may always face the risk of not having a thermometer available at the time they need it the most. |
LICHT SOLUTIONS: It eliminates the need for thermometers as it features a built-in high-accuracy temperature sensor positioned within the container, calibrated according to IPT standards and monitored by INMETRO. After being precisely measured and processed by sophisticated software application, the results are exhibited on a liquid crystal display at a 0.1 °C accurate resolution. In other words, users are presented with a reading that is at least 10 times more accurate than needed for the process. |
MARKET DEMANDS: Most devices on the market heat up water at a 1 °C rate per minute, offering a slow insemination process. |
LICHT SOLUTIONS: The WP-100 is fast at heating because it has a high-power electric supply (50 W) which is able to raise temperature at up to 3 °C per minute. |
MARKET DEMANDS: When transported under adverse conditions and used in dusty and damp environments, currently available thawers may be easily damaged because of their fragile design (casing and electronics). Besides, their generally dark color surface makes them hard to clean. |
LICHT SOLUTIONS: Licht’s thawer was carefully designed: attractive, skillfully-engineered with quality finishing, and built to a much higher standard than normally required. Its light color surface contributes to an easier cleaning. Its robust casing is completely water-proof and resistant to occasional shocks. And, last but not least, the device comes in a high-quality case that allows you to carry it around with safety. |
MARKET DEMANDS: Other devices have a short service life when facing extreme conditions of use and transportation, and have to be frequently replaced. |
LICHT SOLUTIONS: The WP-100 was designed to achieve a long service life if properly used. Thanks to the WP-100’s over-dimensioned heating electronics, its power supply will operate at a maximum of 5 W after heating, which represents only 10% of its rated capacity (50 W) and thus protects the device against overloading. |
MARKET DEMANDS: Regular thawers require users to go through complex training sessions before they are able to operate the device. |
LICHT SOLUTIONS: The WP-100 features a hassle-free, intuitive, 3-button panel that is as simple as a regular cell phone. Our online training provides users with sufficient information on how to operate the equipment. However, if any questions should remain, our customer service department will always be ready to help you out. You may extend your warranty to a total of 12 months when you prove that you watched our training video. |
