HIPPEX semen extender is supplied as a powder in small plastic jars to prepare 250 ml extender medium. In addition, new packings will be introduced in 2019 (see below).
NEW: Hippex is also available in brown PET-flasks for making directly 250 ml extender by adding water immediately into the bottle and therefore avoiding the transfer of the HIPPEX powder into another recipient.
Also available: buckets with 4.5 kg HIPPEX powder.
The supply of powder has several advantages over the supply of (frozen) liquid medium.
Preparation of extender medium is easy and quick: HIPPEX powder has been micronized whereby the powder dissolves easily in warm water without lump formation.
Powder can easily and less expensively be shipped in (cooled) boxes all over the world.
Powder remains of high quality for over a year when kept in a refrigerator or freezer.
Powder offers the possibility to prepare just the amount of extender needed.
