Bio-Thermo microchips contain a patented built-in temperature biosensor¹ and are therefore able to measure a horse’s temperature at the implantation site. It is an easy, safe, and quick alternative method of taking multiple temperature measurements.

Bio-Thermo microchips^2,3 are Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) systems which offer unique and unalterable identification for horses. The microchip is a passive transponder, each about the size of a grain of rice, programmed with a unique 15-digit identification number compatible with ISO Standards 11784 and 11785.

Key Structural and Identification Features Include:

• Microchips are pre-loaded in syringes with an easy to inject 12-gauge needle inside a sterile pouch
• Each Bio-Thermo microchip is capped with a polymer sheath on one end called BioBond®, which can help keep the microchip from migrating by favoring tissue adhesion
• The 15-digit identification number can be read by universal or ISO compliant readers
• Microchip temperatures from Bio-Thermo microchips can be read by our universal scanners Global Pocket Reader™ Plus (GPR+) or the HomeAgain® microchip readers
• When used in conjunction with the EquiTrace® app, temperatures can be quickly recorded and monitored in an easy to read chart located directly within the app
• Packaged and priced in boxes of 10 Bio-Thermo LifeChip/Syringe assemblies
