APT12TM

FDX-B HIGH-PERFORMANCE PIT TAG

The Biomark APT12 FDX-B Passive Integrated Tran-sponder (PIT) Tag is a radio frequency identification (RFID) device that complies with the specifications of ISO Standards 11784 and 11785, and is compatible with reading systems designed in compliance with these standards. This PIT Tag is packaged in a laser-annealed glass ampoule that measures 12.5 mm in length and

2.03 mm in diameter. The Biomark APT12 PIT Tag is designed specifically for subcutaneous or intramuscular implantation in animals, including fish and wildlife spe-cies.

APT12 COMPATIBLE IMPLANTERS

• MK10 syringe style implanter + N125 needle

• MK7 syringe style implanter with needle (single use)

• The APT 12 is also available in the Biomark Pre-load and Pre-load Sterile systems, for use with MK25 www.biomark.com • +1 208.275.0011 • biomarkservice@merck.com
