    Introducing Bend Don't Break™

    Following years of intensive development and testing, the Spectrum 20 Signature includes a new top head shape that deforms when the tank is subjected to excessive G-force loads. This increases the tank’s durability, making it more robust while minimizing damage from mishandling during transport.

    With the Bend concept, if the tank is tipped or dropped, you will know. That’s because there will be visible evidence of this on the outside. But it’s what’s inside that counts. The tank’s ruggedness makes it more resilient, keeping your products safe from vacuum leakage.

    Please note: we make no guarantee that samples will not break, and warranty is voided if there is evidence of exterior damage.

    Semen Safe™ - 20% stronger than previous designs

    For use in bull semen shipping, the new Spectrum 20 Signature includes a composite neck that is 20% stronger than previous designs. This is all thanks to our extensive testing and development program.

    This feature makes the neck less susceptible to damage from excessive G-force loads resulting from mishandling during transport, increasing the durability of the Spectrum 20 Signature.

    When you combine SEMEN SAFE™ with BEND DON’T BREAK™, the risk of semen loss and disruption to your business is greatly minimized. So, while we have maintained the form, fit and function of the MVE-20 Millenium design, SEMEN SAFE™ further increases the durability of MVE products.

Please note, the MVE Spectrum Series is only available in select markets. Contact us to find out if it’s available in yours.
