Mouse Programmable Microchip

The UID Mouse Programmable Microchip (UC-1485) is ideal for positive and permanent identification of mice and other small laboratory animals. With microchip dimensions of 1.4 mm in diameter and 8.5 mm in length, it is the smallest, programmable transponder in the market with encryption. Each microchip is supplied individually packaged in sterile cannula for quick and easy implantation using a wide range of UID injectors. Each transponder contains a unique, non-repeating, alphanumeric code for positive animal identification. In addition, the UC-1485 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. The UC-1485 implantable microchips can be easily programmed in cannula prior to insertion using the UPS-60 Chip Provisioning Station, or after implantation while in the animal using the UID UBS-200L Base Station reader. The UID programmable transponders are fail-proof and do not lose their programmed information, unlike those of other providers.
