Product overview

The VProbe-2B is a wireless backfat probe with no display of its own. It connects over Wi-Fi to an iPad or another tablet, and the image is shown and operated on the tablet. The main board, battery and wireless module all sit inside the probe handle, so the user holds the probe and watches the tablet with no separate main unit and no cable.

The probe works in B mode at 5 MHz, with a detection depth of 40-120 mm and a probe width of 45 mm. The body measures 145 mm x 45 mm x 40 mm and weighs 300 g, and the built-in battery runs for more than 3 hours on a charge, which covers a continuous session.

With the dedicated backfat software the probe measures backfat thickness and loin-eye area in pigs, cattle and sheep, with the image shown as an ultrasound cross-section and the readings recorded in the software. Backfat readings depend on where the probe is placed, how much pressure is applied, whether coupling gel has been spread evenly and how the animal stands, so for comparable results measure again at the same site, in the same plane and with the same pressure.
