PRODUCT DETAILS
Ultrasound for ultra profits®! The Lean-Meater® Series 12 is a microprocessor-controlled A-Mode ultrasonic instrument. It is designed to measure the total thickness of the skin and up to three layers of backfat. When the measurement is complete, the instrument will display the number of fat layers detected and the total thickness in millimeters with a greater accuracy than ever before. The primary use is the measurement of backfat in swine for the determination of sow condition, gilt selection, quality, and other genetic aspects. Other uses include fat measurement in cattle, sheep, and other land animals, as well as blubber measurement in aquatic animals. (The Lean-Meater® is not intended for measurement of muscle tissue.) The Lean-Meater® can be thought of as an electronic ruler. Ultrasonic pulses sent into the animal are reflected back to the instrument from tissues of interest. Measurements are non-invasive - no piercing of the skin with the consequent danger of infection. The animals are neither hurt nor irritated. The use of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) assures sharp, crisp, readings. Only the Lean-Meater® uses an LED display which will operate over a wider range of temperature and be more visible under adverse light conditions. The instrument features rugged all-metal construction and a NiMH (“green”) rechargeable battery, which does not need to be recycled. Battery charging and low power indicators are also provided. The Lean-Meater® comes with probe, probe cable, charger (115V), container for coupling fluid, test cylinder, and instructions. Features all solid-state computerized circuitry, environmentally protected circuit board, and an all-metal case. Measures backfat in 10 seconds or less and a signal is given when measurement is complete. Range/accuracy: 4 mm to 35 mm (0.156"-1.365") ± 1 digit. Power supply: nickel metal hydride battery with a battery life of approximately 2-4 years (1,000 charges/discharges). Operates 6-10 hours on a full charge (recharge for 12-14 hours). Size: 7" x 2-3/4" x 1".
