Digitail™ Animal ID Injector - RFID Identification Tag

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

Background

Digitail was developed specifically for laboratory rodents, including very young animals. Designed as the world’s smallest RFID tag, it delivers a reliable read distance of up to 5 cm and is easy to implant, even for novice technicians.

Unlike traditional glass transponders which were originally designed for pets and later adapted for laboratory use. Digitail doesn’t require large-gauge needles or deep implantation. It’s designed to remain securely in place without migration or side effects, providing a safer, more practical alternative that supports animal welfare and efficient laboratory workflows.

Features
The Digitail Tag is only 6mm long, 0.5mm wide and only 0.25mm high. At only 0.75mm in volume (16 times less than glass transponders) and requiring only a 21 gauge needle to implant, it is the least invasive of any tag in the world. The tag comes with a pre-existing, permanent 24 character, unique ID and can be read by any compatible UHF reader, as it is ISO 18000-6c compliant. Every tag is coated in Parylene C so it is completely bio-inert and is ideal for use with any strain of mouse or rat, including immune-deficient or compromised strains.
