FDX-B Animal Microchip with Integrated Temperature Sensor
Product Overview
This advanced implantable microchip represents the next generation of animal identification, combining the proven, global ISO standard for permanent ID with integrated vital sign monitoring. It is a passive, maintenance-free device that provides a tamper-proof lifetime identity and enables easy, non-invasive temperature checks, streamlining animal management and healthcare.
Key Features and Benefits
- Dual-Function Passive RFID: A single device delivers both a Unique Identification Number (UID) and real-time body temperature data when scanned by a compatible reader, eliminating the need for separate procedures.
- Full ISO 11784/11785 FDX-B Compliance: Ensures universal compatibility with standard readers worldwide and adherence to international animal identification protocols.
- Maintenance-Free and Passive: Requires no internal battery; it is powered entirely by the reader’s signal, guaranteeing a functional lifetime.
- Biocompatible Bioglass Encapsulation: The 1.4mm x 8.5mm capsule is made from implant-grade bioglass, ensuring safety and stability within animal tissue.
- Reliable 134.2 kHz Frequency: Utilizes Low Frequency (LF) technology, which provides consistent and reliable read performance unaffected by the presence of water or animal tissue.
How the FDX-B Temperature Microchip Works
The microchip operates on the ISO-standardized Full Duplex B (FDX-B) protocol at 134.2 kHz. When a compatible ISO 11785 reader activates it with a radio signal, the chip harnesses that energy to power its internal circuitry. It then transmits a continuous data stream back to the reader. This data packet contains both its pre-programmed, unique 15-digit identification code and a real-time measurement of the local temperature at the implant site.
Primary Applications
- Companion Animal Veterinary Care: Streamline clinic visits by instantly verifying a pet’s identity and obtaining its core temperature, aiding in rapid diagnosis and treatment.
- Livestock Health and Management: Enable efficient individual identification and routine health screening of herds for early detection of illnesses like bovine respiratory disease.
- Animal Shelters and Breeding Facilities: Maintain permanent, reliable records for all animals and monitor their health status with minimal handling.
- Research and Wildlife Studies: Provide a reliable method for tracking individual animals and collecting essential biometric data over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an RFID temperature sensor microchip?
An RFID temperature sensor microchip is a passive, implantable device that transmits both a unique identification code and the animal’s current body temperature when scanned by a compatible FDX-B reader.
How does this microchip measure temperature?
The microchip contains integrated sensor circuitry alongside the RFID chip. When activated by the reader’s signal, it measures the ambient temperature at the implant site and transmits this data digitally along with its unique ID.
Is this microchip compliant with international standards?
Yes. This product is fully compliant with ISO 11784, which defines the structure of the identification code, and ISO 11785, which defines the FDX-B air interface protocol. This ensures it is a globally recognized and accepted solution.
