INVE SEP-ART D-FENSE ARTEMIA

BIOMETRICS & COMPOSITION

The application of the SEP-Art Technology does not affect the biometrics or the composition of the cysts or nauplii.

KEY BENEFITS

• Complete separation, 100% pure nauplii
• Automated separation of nauplii from shell
• Maximal yield from the cysts
• Maximal viability and vitality
• Environmentally friendly 

AUTOMATED SEPARATION

Harvesting SEP-Art Artemia with either the CysTM or the SEPARATOR tube is a highly automated process in which strong magnets selectively trap the magnetized shells and leave a clean suspension of pure nauplii only.

MAXIMAL YIELD FROM THE CYSTS

With regular, non-decapsulated cysts, precautions have to be taken at the time of the harvest to prevent contamination of the collected nauplii with excessive amounts of unhatched cysts or empty shells. Even the most carefully executed precautions such as the flushing of a plug of settled, unhatched cysts and/or the use of double sieving will inevitably result in loss or damage of the nauplii.

Thanks to the SEP-Art Technology, the unhatched cysts and empty shells are automatically and selectively removed from the harvest: one can now drain the hatching tank completely, without any precautionary measure and thus recuperate
every single hatched Artemia nauplius. Consequently, for cysts of equal hatching quality, the SEP-Art Technology yields substantially more nauplii biomass as compared to conventional harvest methods, as demonstrated in the graph below:

MAXIMAL VIABILITY AND VITALITY

Conventional harvesting methods can be rather abrasive to the nauplii (e.g. the combined use of strong water jets and multiple sieves to separate the nauplii from unhatched cysts and/or cyst fragments). Not exceptionally, up to 10% of such harvests consist of damaged, mutilated or even dead animals.

SEP-Art Technology allows very gently harvesting and yields pure nauplii of unequalled vitality and viability. This superb condition is reflected not only by the near absolute survival of the nauplii during the subsequent enrichment process but most importantly, by the markedly improved enrichment levels.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

With SEP-Art, no cyst or shell fragments contaminate the concentrated nauplii. Therefore, SEP-Art Artemia is truly revolutionary since it makes history of the cumbersome, polluting and hazardous process of decapsulation.

PACKAGING

SEP-Art cysts are available in cans, alufoils and buckets of different sizes and weight, depending on the area it is sold in.

STORAGE

SEP-Art cysts are to be stored like other Artemia cysts: when not used, the packaging should be maintained carefully closed. For optimal maintenance of product quality, it is advised to store the product in a cool and dry environment. Temperatures above 4°C can adversely influence product performance. Once opened, the product should be used immediately.
