Bioglass RFID Tag: ISO-Compliant Microchips for Animal ID & Temperature Monitoring
Product Overview
What is a Bioglass RFID Tag?
A Bioglass RFID Tag is a biocompatible, passive RFID microchip encased in bioglass for subcutaneous implantation in animals. Its core purpose is to provide permanent, tamper-proof identification and, in advanced models, real-time temperature monitoring. This product is essential for veterinarians, pet owners, livestock farmers, animal shelters, and research facilities.
Key Features & Benefits
Unmatched Biocompatibility & Safety
The microchip is encased in bioglass, a bio-inert material engineered for safe, long-term implantation. This design minimizes the risk of tissue reaction or chip migration within the animal’s body.
Reliable Passive RFID Technology
Operating on passive RFID technology, the tag requires no internal battery. It is powered entirely by the signal from a compatible 134.2 kHz reader, ensuring a lifelong operational lifespan once implanted.
Global Standard Compliance
The tag is fully compliant with ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 FDX-B protocols. This compliance guarantees global recognition and seamless interoperability with universal pet identification databases and readers worldwide.
Unique Identification & Advanced Sensing
Each tag contains a factory-programmed, unique identification number (UID) for unambiguous animal tracking. Select advanced models integrate a precision temperature sensor, enabling non-invasive health and wellness monitoring.
How the Bioglass RFID Tag Works
The Implantation & Reading Process
A veterinarian implants the sterile microchip subcutaneously using a pre-loaded syringe. When a compatible ISO 11785 FDX-B reader is brought near the animal, it energizes the tag. The tag then transmits its unique ID and temperature data back to the reader for display and recording.
Understanding the Technology
The technology is defined by international standards. ISO 11784 defines the structure of the identification code, including country code and ID number. ISO 11785 FDX-B defines the full-duplex communication protocol at 134.2 kHz for reliable data transmission.
Applications & Use Cases
Pet Identification & Recovery
This tag provides permanent identification for dogs, cats, and other companion animals. When linked to owner contact information in national registries, it dramatically increases the recovery rate of lost pets.
Livestock Management & Health Monitoring
In agricultural settings, the tag enables individual animal tracking within herds for breeding programs, medical history, and ownership verification. Models with temperature sensors allow for the early detection of fever or illness, facilitating timely veterinary intervention.
Specialized Animal Care
The tag is used for the secure identification and health monitoring of zoo animals, laboratory research subjects, and high-value equine athletes.
Product Specifications & Variants
Common Physical Specifications
The standard implantable microchip measures 1.4 x 8.5 mm. It features a bioglass casing and operates at the 134.2 kHz frequency, compliant with the ISO 11784 / 11785 FDX-B read standard.
Available Chip & Feature Variants
Variant 1: Animal RFID Microchip
Chip: EM4305
Core Feature: Provides a unique, permanent identification number (UID) for pet ID.
Variant 2: Temperature RFID Microchip
Chip: Custom / EM4305 with integrated sensor
Core Feature: Enables animal temperature monitoring.
Output: Transmits both the UID and a real-time temperature reading.
Benefits for Veterinarians & Animal Owners
The Bioglass RFID Tag offers a permanent and tamper-proof solution that cannot be lost or removed like collars or external tags. Implantation is a quick and simple routine veterinary procedure. The tag supports integration with global pet recovery databases. For temperature-sensing models, it enables proactive health management through data-driven monitoring and early disease detection.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is an RFID temperature sensor tag?
A: An RFID temperature sensor tag is a passive RFID device that can transmit both unique identification data and accurate temperature information when scanned by a compatible reader.
Q: Can RFID tags measure temperature?
A: Yes. Specialized RFID tags, such as our advanced bioglass microchips, integrate temperature sensors that allow them to measure and transmit precise temperature data.
Q: How does an RFID temperature microchip work?
A: The microchip contains an integrated temperature sensor alongside its RFID circuitry. When activated by an ISO 11785 FDX-B compliant reader, it simultaneously transmits its unique UID and the current temperature reading captured by the sensor.
