Digitail™ Injector

Digitail™ Injector is our patented technology designed to safely and consistently implant the Digitail™ Tag into the tail of the rodent.

Digitail Injector
EASY & QUICK

The most humane implant method

The Digitail Injector consists of a reusable handheld unit and single use disposable cartridge. Through a 21-gauge needle, the Digitail Tag is implanted quickly and relatively painlessly into the rodent’s tail.

The Injector provides a unique and improved method of implanting RFID tags (also referred to as transponders) for digital identification of rodents: the system does not push the tag into the tissue, but leaves the tag in place after retracting the needle.

Our implant method ensures the technician can control the depth of the needle and the precision location of the tag implant site. The risk of injury or tissue trauma is eliminated using the Somark solution.

Also, there is no need to anesthetize the animal, nor any need to shave any fur, further improving the experience for the animal.

DIGITAIL RESTRAINER

A unique way to restrain your mouse

Implanting the tag in the tail ensures only one technician is needed to perform the procedure. To make the process even easier, we also provide a specially designed restraint, which enables the technician to have both hands free when implanting the tag.

The restraint secures the tail whilst leaving the mouse free to comfortably move under the red dome. The tail cannot be pulled away from the technician and unlike traditional tube restrainers, the mouse does not need to be pulled backwards by the tail and is not squashed.

This restraint method and implant process minimizes the stress experienced by the mouse (and the technician!).
