The TP-500™ is the smallest temperature transponder available that uses a 15-gauge needle for implantation. The size of the transponder and needle expands the use of models available for research with temperature, including those under 10 grams and rodent neonates.

With our TP-500™, researchers can program their own animal identification codes onto the glass encapsulated microchip and access their data—plus the subject’s subcutaneous temperature—with every scan.

Injected with a syringe-like action, TP-500™ temperature programmable transponders are preloaded in a disposable needle assembly. The ergonomic design of this one-piece tool fully integrates the handle, stainless steel needle, and drive pin. Packaged in boxes of 100, needle assemblies (one transponder each) are processed through an ethylene oxide cycle for sterilization. No assembly is required. Pick one up, remove the needle cap, implant the transponder, and dispose of the injector all in one clean operation.
