Laboratory Animal Transponders

All UID implantable programmable laboratory animal transponders for animal research are compatible with the URH 1 handheld reader and programming station. They are perfect for all laboratory animals from mice to horses. Each transponder is supplied in a sterilized triple ground cannula for easy insertion and is individually packaged and sterilized for convenient use. For non-sterile or bulk purchase, contact UID for pricing and options. The UID Programmable transponders can be programmed either in the sterile cannula or after implantation in the animal without fear of loosing your programmed data.  Laboratory animal transponders are not for pet use.  Only for research applications only.  For pet or wildlife use see pet and PIT ISO microchips.

Main Features:

  • Easy to insert
  • Provided with a unique identification number which will never to be repeated
  • Can be programmed using the UPS-60 Provisioning Station for your specific 1-15 digit Identification

Temperature Microchips

UID has changed how researchers look at temperatures in animals. Using UID’s proven technology researchers are now able to record core body temperatures cost effetely using the UCT-2112 Temperature Microchip. With increased read ranges and accuracy being ±0.1°C, we can now provide core body temperatures with an IP implanted microchips. Using the URH-300HP handheld or UBS-200 readers, reading 6-10” away for the temperature is now an affordable option for researchers. Don’t settle for inaccurate subcuticular temperatures in rodents and large animals. Use the UID Temperature Microchip for accurate core body temperatures. No special readers required!

  • Programmable with your study information – 16 Characters
  • 100% Unique 8 Digit RFID Number
  • ±0.1°C Accuracy
  • 25°C – 50°C
  • Implant: IP, SQ or IM in all species

Transponder Programmer

UID scientists have been worked in laboratories and understand the challenges of programming multiple transponders. UID offers two solutions to have your unique number set programmed on the transponders. The first is to let us do it for you. Simply download the Excel table and send it back to us and we will send you the pre-programmed chips with your specific numbering sequence. The second is to purchase our multi-transponder programmer station, the UPS-60. It allows the researcher to program up to 6 chips at a time with their unique number sequence in multiple succession. All UID Chips for Researcher are compatible with the UPS-60 Provisioning station.

Chip Provisioning Station

The most advanced multi-transponder programmer available. Our new provisioning station allows programming 6 transponders at one time or program the microchips in the animal. Program your exact number or letter sequence specific to your needs. UID microchips cannot loose their programming like the other companies microchips can. Patent Pending

  • Allows the programming of up to 8 UID injectable transponders at one time
  • Code up to 15 alpha-numeric characters of your choice prior to implantation
  • Program your microchips in the single packed sterile cannula or in the animal after implantation
  • Fast and secure transponder programming
  • See what you programmed on the reader when you scan the animal!

Chip Provisioning Station

Let UID Custom program each transponder with your exact alpha-numeric set up to 15 characters.   Simply use the Excel document and return it to UID for ultra-fast turnaround.
