• Operate easily :

The ear tags are quick and simple to install and are usually easily fixed with a special tool, without the need for anesthesia or complex surgical procedures, significantly reducing the stress on  the mouse.

• Reduce stress reaction :

Due to the non-invasive nature of ear tagging, the laboratory mouse experience less pain and stress when being ear tagged, and are better able to maintain their physiological state, thus improving the reliability of the experimental results.

• Real time identification:

Using ear tags can quickly identify individuals in the laboratory environment, which is easy for the experimental personnel to monitor and manage at any time, especially in large-scale experiment, which is more efficient.

• Reduce cost :

The relatively low cost of production and use of ear tags reduces the pressure on experimental budgets and is particularly suitable for long-term or large-scale studies.

• Flexibility and Renewability :

The information stored in the ear tag can be updated and replaced as needed, whereas once the microchip is implanted,it is more cumbersome to update the information, limiting its applicability.

• Reduce the risk of infection:

Implanted bioglass tag may cause infections or other complications, whereas ear tags have no such risk, enhancing the overall health of the animal.

Above these advantages, lab mouse ear tags have become a more desirable choice in many experimental designs.

Identifying lab animals is essential in order to maintain the integrity of a study. Errors associated with manual ID methods may comprise studies which can impact data, time, and cost.

Manual ID methods can easily be applied inaccurately and are often misread, sometimes with serious consequences. Ear-notches/punches can grow back, making accurate identification increasingly difficult. Manual methods also require punching from one to eight holes. All traditional, manual ID methods are painful to rodents and can be a source of infection. RFIDHY tags are the most humane, accurate, and automated lab animal identification tags available.
