Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are available for CedaGlo implantable glass tags?
Common options include 1.25 × 7 mm, 1.4 × 8 mm and 2.12 × 12 mm. The correct size depends on animal type, implantation method, reader performance and project requirements. Other sizes may be available by project. Contact CedaGlo to confirm the right glass tag size for your application.
Are the handheld readers compatible with all animal microchips?
CedaGlo reader options support FDX-B and EMID formats depending on the model. Readers typically operate at 134.2 kHz for FDX-B and selected models also support 125 kHz EMID formats. Chip format and frequency should always be confirmed with your reader specification before deployment to ensure compatibility.
Is the animal microchip a GPS tracker?
No. A standard animal identification microchip is a passive RFID transponder. It stores a unique ID number that can be read by a compatible scanner at close range and linked to an animal registration or management database. It does not transmit a live location signal and does not require a battery or external power source.
Can CedaGlo supply ICAR-compliant microchips, implanters and readers as a complete system?
ICAR-compliant and ICAR-coded glass tag configurations are available depending on chip, size and project requirements. Sterile implanters, handheld readers, reusable pistol-grip implanters and rumen bolus tags can be supplied as a coordinated system or sourced individually. Contact our team to confirm the configuration that fits your project before placing an order.
