About this product

The Trovan ID100A Midi is the bulk, loose-chip version of our most popular aquaculture microchip — 8mm × 1.4mm — supplied without needles and without sterilisation. It's the right choice when you need flexibility, lower per-chip cost at high volume, or are integrating the chip into your own delivery system.

Ideal for

• Large-scale hatchery and fingerling tagging programs handling in-house sterilisation
• OEM integrators building proprietary RFID products around the Trovan chip
• Aquaculture research programs with in-house sterile preparation infrastructure
• Pearl farming operations integrating chips into custom tagging workflows
• Industrial aquaculture identification (cage tagging, equipment marking, broodstock pen ID)
• Research programs needing lower per-chip cost at high volumes

Benefits

• Glass encapsulation — ideal for high-humidity aquaculture environments
• Biocompatible — suitable for implantation in fish, crustaceans, and shellfish (with appropriate sterilisation)
• Lower price per unit than sterile in-needle chips — essential for high-volume programs
• Compatible with all Trovan FDX-A reading systems — swim-by tunnels, frame readers, AquaPocket, handheld scanners and remote monitoring

Note: Trovan FDX-A microchips are NOT suitable for companion dogs, cats or horses in Australia. These chips are NOT sterile and require appropriate preparation before implantation in animals.
