Temperature programmable microchip

Temperature readings are achieved with a high degree of accuracy (±0.1°C @ 38°C) in increments of 0.1°C. 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.

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.

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 handheld reader is a popular and cost-effective option for ID and temperature collection in rodents. The URH-300HP (handheld), with an effective read distance of up to 8”, is a great option for rabbits and larger lab animals. The UBS-200L Base Station reader also provides long read range and it is ideal for high throughput processes involving animal weighing, tumor measurements and dosing procedures.
