1.What is an RFID Glass Tube Tag/Animal Microchip?
במילים פשוטות, an RFID glass tube tag / animal microchip acts like an “electronic ID card that can never be lost.”
It is an electronic microchip roughly the size of a grain of rice (common dimensions include 1.25mm × 7mm or 2.12mm × 12mm). To protect its fragile internal circuitry, the chip is encapsulated within a highly transparent, עמיד ועמיד, and biocompatible glass tube.
- For Animals: It is injected subcutaneously (beneath the skin) for identification and loss prevention purposes.
- For Industrial Use: It is embedded within tools, ציוד, or parts to facilitate automated tracking.It requires no internal battery and can operate stably for over ten years.
2.How RFID Glass Tube Tags / Animal Microchip Work
RFID glass tube tags / animal microchip fall under the category of “פסיבי” טכנולוגיית RFID. Their operational process can be broadly divided into three steps:
- Activation: A reader (either a handheld device or a fixed scanner) emits electromagnetic wave signals at a specific frequency.
- Induction: When the glass tube tag comes into proximity with the reader, its internal micro-coil “harvests” energy from the reader via induced current, instantly activating the internal chip.
- Transmission: Once activated, the chip transmits its stored Unique Identifier (UID) back to the reader. The reader recognizes this code and either displays it on a screen or uploads it to a database.
3.Types of RFID Glass Tube Tags / Animal Microchip
Based on varying application requirements, glass tube tags are primarily categorized into the following types:
A.Animal Identification Tags (Compliant with ISO 11784/11785 Standards)
This is the most common type, primarily used for the management of living organisms:
- Standard Type (HY-GT01/02/04/11/12): Available in various sizes (e.g., 1.4mm × 8mm, 2.12mm × 12mm) and widely used for pets (dogs and cats), laboratory mice, and horses.
- Ultra-Miniature Type (HY-GT03): Measuring a mere 1.25mm × 7mm, this variant is specifically designed for extremely small animals—such as fish, birds, or juvenile laboratory animals—to minimize discomfort.
- Temperature-Sensing Model (HY-GT101): In addition to providing a unique ID, this model senses body temperature in real-time, making it an invaluable tool for livestock farms monitoring animal health (particularly during pregnancy).
B.Industrial-Grade Applications
- High-Performance Industrial Glass Tube Tag (HY-GTI0313): Designed specifically for harsh environments. It features an exceptionally wide operating temperature range (-25°C to +85°C) and can withstand significant industrial pressure and chemical corrosion; it is typically used for tracking non-biological assets.
C.Advanced Functionality
- Dual-Frequency Glass Tube Tag (HY-GT15): Integrates both Low Frequency (134.2 קילו-הרץ) and High Frequency (13.56 מגה-הרץ) צ'יפס. This allows it to be read by traditional animal readers while also remaining compatible with more intelligent interactive systems, thereby enabling a wider range of value-added functions.
4.Common Application Scenarios
Animal Identification and Management
- Pet Identity Management: Assigns a unique electronic ID to cats and dogs, facilitating urban canine management and aiding in the recovery of lost pets.
- Laboratory Animal Monitoring: During scientific research, allows for the rapid identification of individual laboratory mice—accessing their full records via scanning—without the need for manual handling.
- Aquatic and Wildlife Tracking: Used for studies on fish migration, the monitoring of rare bird species, and similar applications.
Industrial and Asset Management
- Precision Tool Tracking: In automated factories, tags are embedded into expensive drill bits or fixtures to enable precise inventory control and lifecycle management.
- Smart Factory Inspection: Tags are installed at production line nodes to record product assembly status and station dwell times.
- High-Voltage Power/Gas Inspection: Due to the excellent insulating properties of the glass tube casing, these tags are frequently used for identification and management within high-voltage power equipment.
Selection Tips:
- For small-sized pets, the HY-GT03 (1.25 מ מ) model is recommended.
- If ICAR (International Committee for Animal Recording) certification is required, please verify that the specific model includes the corresponding certification mark.
- For factory automation applications, please ensure you select an industrial-grade glass tube tag from the HY-GTI series.
