Microtattoo System

A quick, efficient and affordable method of permanently identifying laboratory animals (mice as early as 1 day old). Designed and tested by laboratory animal technicians, the system utilizes a hypodermic needle at one end of a stainless steel forceps and a small metal cup containing green tattoo paste at the other side of the forceps.

By squeezing the forceps together, the needle penetrates the toe, footpad or ear of the animal and injects a deposit of green tattoo paste into the animal. A grid location pattern provided enables a numbering system that extends over 1 million.

Use of the microtattoo system is humane and in compliance with regulatory agencies for the care and use of laboratory animals. Detailed instructions are included.

Microtattoo System includes:
  • 1 Plated Steel Microtattoo Forceps
  • 2 Hypodermic Needles
  • 1 Aluminum Planchette
  • 1 oz. of Green Tattoo Paste
  • 1 Storage Case
