NEO-9 Neonate Rodent Tattooing System
neonate tattooing made simple & quick
The AIMS NEO-9 Neonate Tattoo System was developed for the tattoo identification of P0 – P15 neonate rodents of any color or strain. Neonate tattooing provides a permanent ID that can be used to identify animals as early as the first-day-of-life (P0). This is particularly useful when studying the effects of lethal genes. In addition, neonate tattooing allows genotyping at an early age to determine the number of transgenic pups in litters prior to weaning. Knowing the genotypes of animals as pups allows you to remove non-transgenic animals prior to weaning which can decreased your per diem costs and speed up your research experiments.
The NEO-9 tattoo equipment is heavy duty and built exclusively for the laboratory environment and neonate tattooing. Equipment set-up, use and care is reviewed in the Equipment Operating Instruction book while the AIMS exclusive tattooing training manual “Lab Animal Tattoo Identification, Vol.1, Neonate Mice and Rats” provides Step-by-Step guidance on developing good and humane neonate tattooing techniques.
