The Automatic Tail Marking/Encoding Instrument for Rats and Mice is an advanced automatic encoding system currently available at home and abroad. This system features clear marking, long-lasting code retention, simplicity, flexibility, and ease of operation. It can generate codes with fewer than 3 characters (combining English letters and numbers), support free switching between manual and automat

Detailed Introduction

Product Introduction

Although encoding and marking of animals is the first step in animal experiments, it is an extremely crucial one. Failure to perform accurate numbering and ensure easy identification afterward may plant irreversible hidden risks for the experiment results right from the very first step. Therefore, a reliable animal marking method is a foundational step toward the success of an experiment.

The Automatic Tail Marking Instrument for Rats and Mice is an advanced automatic encoding system currently used domestically and internationally. Its prominent advantages include clear marking, long-lasting code retention, simplicity, flexibility, and user-friendly operation. Inspired by human tattoo technology (such as the historical story of "Mother Yue Tattooing Characters on Yue Fei’s Back"), this system can create codes with fewer than 3 characters by combining English letters and numbers. It supports seamless switching between manual and automatic operation modes, is controlled through a color touchscreen, and is equipped with backspace and cancel functions for convenient use.

The instrument is easy to set up. All materials that come into contact with the animal’s internal tissues (tattoo needles, needle catheters, and ink cups) are disposable and sterile. The ink used is specially treated imported tattoo ink. This Automatic Tail Marking Instrument for Rats and Mice is applicable to black mice, white mice, and rats alike.

Technical Specifications

Three channels for rats and mice: Capable of marking 3 rats or mice simultaneously.
Code length options: 4-character, 3-character, 2-character, or 1-character codes.
Automatic correction of needle piercing position.
Automatic positioning for needle replacement; intelligent software control of tattoo needle depth, with an adjustable range of 0-2mm and a step size of 0.1mm.
Manual initiation of marking.
Combined coding with English letters and Arabic numerals, providing up to 140,000 unique code combinations.
7.0-inch color touchscreen for operation.
Automatic ink absorption; the system allows for quick manual needle replacement (completable within 3 seconds).
Disposable tattoo needles, needle nozzles, and ink cups are used.
The hair removal step can be omitted in the experimental process without any impact on the results. Even if this step is skipped, the marked codes remain clearly distinguishable during the marking process.

Effect Demonstration

The animal codes remain clearly visible 3 months after marking.
