Enhanced Gerbil Identification with Digitail RFID Tag
The 75th National AALAS Meeting, Nashville TN, sees the Digitail RFID Tags, Needles, Injectors, Readers – all used successfully with Gerbils.
Gerbils Benefit from Refined Animal Identification Methods:
Another lab animal species can now benefit from refined animal identification: smaller Digitail RFID tags, non-surgical placement, and zero lost IDs.
Gerbils are widely used in biomedical research due to their relevance in a variety of studies. They contribute to research on stroke, parasitology, infectious diseases, epilepsy, brain development and behavior, and hearing.
In all these applications, reliable Digitail RFID tag tracking is essential for accurate gerbil identification, helping researchers maintain precise records, reduce errors, and ensure reproducibility in experimental studies.
During use, one gerbil in a group can have its Digitail RFID tag scanned on a Somark reader, supporting precise identification across multiple animals. The unique 24-character Digitail RFID tag ID appears seamlessly in the background on the Somark LinkTo app, enabling accurate and efficient tracking for researchers.
We’re proud to provide researchers using gerbils with the many benefits of Somark’s Digitail platform, including:
- World’s smallest Digitail RFID tag for minimal impact
- Readable through glass and plastic for flexible and convenient use
- Improved accuracy with integration into existing software for automated gerbil identification
- Quick, efficient application that prioritises animal welfare
