Enhancing fish vaccination
Effective vaccination is essential for maintaining fish health and ensuring the sustainability of aquaculture. Precision and efficiency in vaccine administration help reduce fish stress, prevent injuries, and optimize immunization outcomes. Socorex, a leading Swiss manufacturer of precision dosing instruments, has developed two essential syringe accessories to enhance the vaccination process: FishGuide™ and Abacus™ shot counter.
Socorex FishGuide™ - perfect fish positioning
The FishGuide™ ensures correct needle positioning, reducing fish injuries and safeguarding operators from accidental needle pricks. Its 360° adjustable design allows it to be positioned for optimal use, while its large, shape-adjustable copper handles accommodate various fish sizes. Available in three sizes (15 mm, 25 mm, and 45 mm), it is compatible with Socorex® classic 167/187 and ultra 1810 micro-dose syringes. With its quick, tool-free installation, FishGuide™ is an indispensable tool for high-volume fish farms.
Abacus™ shot counter - every dose counts
Designed for Socorex ultra 1810 syringes, the Abacus™ shot counter provides precise tracking of vaccine doses administered. Its water-tight casing ensures durability in aquaculture environments, and the built-in priming/rinsing mode allows for temporary deactivation of counting. For added convenience, a manual incrementing magnet is available.
Conclusion
By improving vaccination accuracy and efficiency, Socorex’s FishGuide™ and Abacus™ shot counter help reduce fish stress, enhance productivity, and optimize vaccine administration. These advanced tools support fish farmers in achieving better health outcomes and ensuring sustainable aquaculture practices.
