Ear notches or holes are produced by an ear punch device and used for wean age or older. This individual numbering system creates a unique identifier for each animal.
A metal ID tag placed in the mouse ear pinna with a special applicator. For mice wean age or older.
The UID microchip implant (UID Product# UC-1485) is a small subcutaneous implantable RFID device for 100% positive identification from wean age to adult mice. Each microchip maintains a unique alpha numeric ID, along with programmable on-board memory. A hands-free scanner makes the ID and study related information readily available and easily accessible. The readers can be integrated into any LIM system or computer. Mice may need to be anesthetized or sedated for implantation. Consult your institutional ACUC guidelines.
UID has tested their microchips for usability across several phenotyping platforms such as MRI, Gamma/X-Ray and Ultrasound and found no heating, movement, or loss of permanent or programmed chip data. JAX also tested the microchips for mouse safety and did not witness a measurable impact on animal health. The RFID microchip may interfere with data collected from some imaging and phenotyping platforms. JAX recommends validation tests be performed by each client.
UID's MiniMax microchip (UID Product# UC-1283) offers the same benefits and instrument compatibility as the larger microchip while reducing the area of injection by 25% and occupying 25% less space within each mouse.
For a direct comparison of the two UID RFID microchips, please expand the table below.
