UID laboratory animal microchips are designed for convenient, non-surgical implantation in laboratory research animals, from mice to horses. Each microchip is available individually packaged in a sterile blister pack and inside a triple ground cannula for easy insertion and convenient use. UID microchips can be easily programmed for animal identification purposes while in their sterile cannula using the UPS-60 Provisioning Station, or after implantation in the animal using the URH-1HP Handheld Reader or UBS-200 Base Station. For non-sterile or bulk purchase, please contact UID for pricing and available options.

Main Features:

• Easy to use and insert
• Provided with a unique identification number which will never to be repeated
• Programmable with your specific 1-16 digit identification code using the UPS-60 Provisioning Station
• Glass encapsulated for improved tissue biocompatibility
• Temperature recording available with the UCT-2112 Temperature Programmable Microchip

Laboratory animal microchips are for use in laboratory animal research only. These are NOT for pet or wildlife use (see our pet and PIT ISO microchips).

Temperature Programmable Microchip

UID has revolutionized the way researchers can now collect and record animal body temperatures with the new UID Temperature Programmable Microchip (UCT-2112). The UID Temperature Microchip uses proven RFID technology to enable animal identification and body temperature in a single transponder. The animal ID and core body temperature readings are conveniently accessible with a simple scan, which presents a more cost-effective solution compared to alternate methods, such as probes and telemetry implants. With intraperitoneally (IP) implanted microchips, core body temperature recordings are achieved with a high degree of accuracy (±0.1°C). There is no need to rely on inaccurate subcuticular temperature readings any more. The UID Temperature Microchip provides an accurate, convenient and cost-effective method for measuring core body temperature in laboratory animals, including mice, rats, primates and more.

In addition to temperature reading capabilities, each transponder contains a unique, non-repeating, alphanumeric code for positive animal identification. Furthermore, the UCT-2112 microchip contains up to 16 alphanumeric characters that enable read/write programmable capabilities. This feature allows researchers to program the microchip with useful “human readable” data, such as study number, genotype or animal DOB. Each microchip is supplied individually packaged in sterile cannula for quick and easy implantation using a wide range of UID injectors.

The UID Temperature Microchips can be scanned using regular UID RFID readers. Unlike other vendors, no dedicated or special readers are required! The URH-300HP (handheld) or UBS-200 (desktop) readers are great options, with an effective reading distance of up to 8”.
