RFID Glass Tube

RFID Glass Tube

The RFID Glass Tube Tag is an ISO-compliant micro transponder hermetically sealed in bio-compatible glass, available in sizes from 1.25×7 mm for small pets and laboratory mice up to 4×22 mm for livestock and industrial embedding. Operating at 125 kHz LF or 13.56 MHz HF with an IP68-rated glass enclosure, it survives autoclave sterilisation at 121°C, subcutaneous implantation, and lifelong exposure to bodily fluids, delivering instant ID retrieval across veterinary clinics, breeding farms, wildlife research stations, and biomedical labs.

Description

Selling Point

1. Implanted Once, Read for Life

Tophonesty's RFID Glass Tube Tag is hermetically sealed in bio-compatible soda-lime glass with no external power source, so the 64-bit or 512-bit ID remains factory-locked and readable for the animal's entire lifespan. Once implanted subcutaneously by a veterinarian, the tag requires no replacement, no battery, and no maintenance - a single injection delivers permanent, tamper-proof identification.

 

2. Survives Autoclave, Body Fluids, and Extreme Environments

The IP68 glass enclosure withstands autoclave sterilisation at 121°C, ethylene oxide gas, and continuous immersion in bodily fluids without corrosion, leakage, or signal drift. This makes Tophonesty's tag the standard choice for laboratory animal facilities running daily cage-wash and sterilisation cycles, where paper labels and plastic ear tags fail within weeks.

 

3. Sizes From 1.25 mm for Mice Up to 4 mm for Livestock

Tophonesty supplies the full size range from 1.25×7 mm micro-tags for zebrafish, laboratory mice, and small reptiles, through 2.12×12 mm for cats and dogs, up to 4×22 mm for cattle, sheep, and industrial tool embedding. Veterinary clinics, research labs, and conservation field teams order one tag family across all species, simplifying reader compatibility and database management.

 

4. Pre-Programmed and Ready to Scan With Any ISO Reader

Each tag ships pre-programmed with a unique, non-duplicable ISO 11784/11785 or ISO 15693 ID string that reads instantly on any compliant handheld scanner or panel reader. Tophonesty provides bar-coded external packaging matching each tag's ID, so clinics and labs can assign the ID to a patient or subject record before implantation with zero data-entry errors.

RFID Glass Tube Tag Applications: Permanent ID for Veterinary, Research, Conservation & Industrial Use

 

RFID Microchip Implants for Veterinary Companion Animal Identification
Veterinary clinics implanting 50–200 pets per month need a permanent ID that cannot be lost, removed, or altered. Tophonesty's 2.12×12 mm bio-compatible glass tag is injected subcutaneously in a 10-second procedure and scanned instantly with any ISO 11784/11785 reader. Unlike collar tags that fall off or tattoo markings that fade, the implanted chip links the animal to its owner's contact details and full medical history in the national pet registry database for life.
 

RFID Glass Tags for Laboratory Animal Management in Biomedical Research
Pharmaceutical research facilities tracking 5,000–20,000 mice and rats across multi-year studies cannot tolerate tag loss, which corrupts experimental data and requires costly subject replacement. Tophonesty's 1.25×7 mm micro-glass tag withstands autoclave sterilisation at 121°C, cage-wash cycles, and direct tissue contact without signal degradation. Each tag carries a factory-unique ID that integrates with laboratory information management systems, ensuring every subject's dosing, behavioural, and pathology data remains linked from study start to final necropsy.


RFID Injectable Transponders for Wildlife Conservation and Field Research
Field biologists tagging migratory fish, amphibians, sea turtles, or wild birds require tags that survive saltwater, mud, freezing rivers, and years of free movement without harming the animal. Tophonesty's glass tube tag, sealed to IP68 in sizes from 1.25×7 mm upward, is implanted with a simple injector and reads reliably at 5–10 cm range on portable LF scanners. Conservation teams use the unique ID to track population movement, breeding site fidelity, and survival rates across seasons without recapturing every individual for visual inspection.


RFID Glass Tube Tags for Industrial Tool and Surgical Instrument Embedding
Manufacturers of surgical instruments, high-value moulds, and industrial cutting tools embed Tophonesty's 3×15 mm or 4×22 mm glass tags into drilled recesses sealed with epoxy. The tag survives autoclave cycles at 121°C in hospital central sterile supply departments and reads through metal surfaces when properly positioned. Tool cribs and operating theatre managers scan instruments before and after procedures, achieving 100% count accuracy and eliminating lost-instrument surgical events.

FAQ

 

Q1 Can the glass tube tag break inside the animal's body?

Tophonesty's tag is made from borosilicate or soda-lime glass designed for subcutaneous use, with smooth, rounded ends that help reduce the risk of migration and fracture under normal movement. Once implanted, connective tissue typically stabilises the tag within 24–48 hours, and breakage is rare when standard implantation procedures are followed.

Q2 What is the read range, and does body tissue interfere with scanning?

The tag reads at 5–10 cm with a standard LF handheld scanner. Body tissue has minimal effect on low-frequency signals, so scanning works reliably through skin, muscle, and fat in most implantation sites.

Q3 Can you pre-program specific ID codes to match our existing database structure?

Yes. Tophonesty pre-programs custom ID strings based on your country code, facility prefix, and preferred numbering sequence. Each tag ships with a matching bar-coded label so records can be assigned before implantation with reduced data-entry errors.

Q4 Is the tag MRI-compatible, and will it move or heat up during scanning?

The glass tag contains no ferromagnetic materials and is generally considered MRI-conditional. Under standard 1.5T or 3T veterinary MRI procedures, the tag should not experience significant heating or movement, though slight localised image artifacts may occur near the implant site.

Q5 How should I store unused tags, and do they have a shelf life?

Store unused tags at room temperature in their original packaging. The factory-programmed ID is non-volatile and does not degrade over time, and the glass seal is designed to remain stable for several years under normal storage conditions.
