Tattoo identification systems for laboratory rodents, neonates and larger animals.
AIMS · P0–P15 mice / rats
An identification system developed for newborn mice and rats from P0 to P15.
The NEO-9 identifies mice and rats from birth through P15, across coat colors and strains. Early individual identification supports neonatal studies and transgenic-colony records before weaning. The system combines dedicated tattoo equipment with a lighted, magnified work station and illustrated identification schemes.
The brochure gives an approximate initial supply capacity; consumption depends on the identification scheme and use.
Vol. 1 · Neonate Mice and Rats
The illustrated training guide and instructional DVD explain neonate identification schemes. Separate equipment instructions cover setup, operation and care.
For an existing ATS-3, the NEO-AP package adds neonate accessories, supplies and the Vol. 1 guide.
Manufacturer kit brochure · PDF ↗Each system includes equipment instructions and an animal-specific training guide. AIMS also describes on-site training using the customer’s own equipment, with hands-on instruction and a written assessment. Its published program requires at least six participants and working equipment with adequate supplies.
AIMS recommends annual service of the tattoo handpiece. Its service program checks springs, the capacitor and contact screw, inspects connections and the needle tube, then recalibrates and tests performance. The manufacturer’s care page explains the current service process.
