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 Transponder uses RFID technology to enable animal identification and body temperature in a small microchip. The animal ID and temperature readings are conveniently accessible with a simple scan of the tiny microchip, which presents a noninvasive and more cost-effective solution compared to alternate methods, such as intrusive probes and large telemetry implants.\u00a0 Temperature readings are achieved with a high degree of accuracy (\u00b10.1\u00b0C @ 38\u00b0C) in increments of 0.1\u00b0C. The UID Temperature Microchip provides an accurate, convenient and cost-effective method for measuring body temperature in laboratory animals, including mice, rats, primates and other species.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The UID Temperature Microchips can be scanned using any of the RFID readers from UID. Unlike other vendors, no dedicated or special readers are required! The URH-1HP<\/a> handheld reader is a popular and cost-effective option for ID and temperature collection in rodents. The URH-300HP<\/a> (handheld), with an effective read distance of up to 8\u201d, is a great option for rabbits and larger lab animals. The UBS-200L<\/a> Base Station reader also provides long read range and it is ideal for high throughput processes involving animal weighing, tumor measurements and dosing procedures.<\/p>\nFeatures and Specifications<\/h3>\n
