Our commitment to the environment and the sustainability of your business

It’s funny how politics changes everything. When I was at university 20 years ago, climate change was simply science. We learnt about how the earth’s climate had been changing over millennia, and how the rate of change has accelerated since the industrial revolution. At this time, public awareness and political attention was minimal, and it […]

A visit to the Jersey Sheep Lady

Jersey Sheep Lady

Jenni Liddiard first contacted us in the spring of 2021, wanting to find the right ultrasound machine with which to scan her sheep and pygmy goats. For Jenni, it is important to confirm pregnancy in order to manage feeding. Overfeeding her animals is not only costly, but can also create a vicious cycle whereby they […]

Vinno lead the way in portable ultrasound for 2025

We travel the country – and indeed the world – trying out new ultrasound systems, and testing ours head-to-head with others in the market. Over the past few months, it has become increasingly clear that, with the D6 and D10, Vinno has left rivals in the dust. Chison machines in the same price bracket offer […]

Upgrading Your Machine: 2 Things To Remember.

If you have been scanning for several years on one particular model of scanner, upgrading your machine can feel really disorientating. This is usually down to two things: the picture looks so different from what you are used to and the controls are in different places. The initial excitement at your brand new machine arriving […]

Pig Backfat Scanning at the Edenbridge & Oxted Agricultural Show

backfat in pigs

We visited the Edenbridge and Oxted Agricultural Show in Kent today, to test out the MSU3 Ultrasound Machine‘s backfat grading abilities on a range of breeds. Prior to this, our testing had been on single farms, on a limited range of breeds. As sonographers and researchers, we are always field testing the equipment that we […]

Marine Ultrasound Scanners

One of the more unusual enquiries we receive is for ultrasound equipment for marine mammals, fish and corals. We are not the only company in the world that supplies ultrasound for marine use, but we are the only one staffed by research sonographers; this means we have the expertise (and interest!) to help you to […]

Why is the KX5600 so popular?

The KX5600 is one of our most popular ultrasound machines. Cost-effective, reliable, and well supported, it has three main versions: What type of image quality can I expect? There’s really no doubt that for under £2000 (pre-VAT), the KX5600v is the best ultrasound machine that money can buy right now – and this has been […]
