Welcome JAX Customers
Your Mice Are Already Digitally Identified
If you received mice from The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), your animals may already be implanted with a UID MiniMax RFID microchip—the smallest programmable RFID microchip for laboratory animal identification. That means your colony already has a permanent digital identification system built in.
Now all you need is a UID reader to unlock faster, more accurate animal tracking and colony management.

What Is a MiniMax Remnant Tag?
Every mouse shipped with a UID MiniMax microchip, which is a remnant tag that securely stores the animal’s unique digital ID and associated information.
Researchers can:
✓ Scan the remnant tag with a UID-compatible reader to immediately access the animal’s identification information
✓ Use the remnant tag for colony and study tracking
✓ Leave the remnant tag inactive with no impact on the animal
Why JAX Chose UID MiniMax
Early & Reliable Identification
Traditional ear tags can be difficult to use on young mice due to limited ear size and tagging space. The UID MiniMax microchip’s slender 17G needle enables reliable implantation in mice as young as 10 days old, allowing earlier identification and tracking.
Permanent Digital Identification
Unlike visual identification methods, the MiniMax microchip provides a permanent electronic ID that stays with the animal throughout its life. The digital ID can be easily read and transmitted directly into colony management, data collection, and research software systems.
Improved Accuracy & Efficiency
Digital identification helps:
- Reduce manual data entry errors
- Improve animal traceability
- Streamline colony management workflows
- Support more accurate research records
- Simplify animal handling and identification
Your Mice Are Ready to Track Today
If your JAX mice arrived with UID MiniMax remnant tags, there is no need for additional identification methods such as:
- Ear notches
- Ear tags
- Secondary visual identifiers
Instead, you already have access to:
- Permanent animal identification
- Faster data collection
- More accurate recordkeeping
- Simplified colony management
- Digital traceability throughout the research lifecycle
Simply scan the animal using a UID reader and begin leveraging the digital identification system already embedded in your mice.
Ready to Get Started?
Your mice already have the identification technology built in. All you need is a UID reader.
