Summary
This study compared intrascapular, intraperitoneal, inguinal, and flank placement of temperature microchips in male and female C57BL/6J mice. Implant location changed the readings: intrascapular values were consistently highest, while intraperitoneal chips could migrate into the scrotum in males and produce variable low values. UID UCT-2112 chips and a URH-1HP reader showed that intrascapular placement was the easiest and most consistent option across sexes.
