LABSTAMP: SETTING NEW STANDARDS IN VISUAL IDENTIFICATION OF LABORATORY ANIMALSSomark Innovations (Somark) is a global leader in laboratory animal identification. Somark is modernizing research laboratories with innovative technology and products to streamline and accurately assess test animal characteristics during pre-clinical research. Somark's Labstamp product is a world-leading visual ID innovation to increase the accuracy of laboratory test animal identification. ABOUT LABSTAMP The Labstamp system creates a distinct and permanent tail tattoo to allow easy visual identification. The tail tattoo is highly durable, lasting the lifespan of the mouse and research phase. The Labstamp system includes the tail tattooing equipment and only requires minimal training to implement. Accurate visual identification directly helps with the accuracy and integrity of scientific research. Labstamp can replace less effective identification methods, while complementing existing research methodologies and technologies. LABSTAMP: A STEF CHANGE IN EFFICIENCY AND ACCURACY OF PRE-CLINICAL RESEARCH Dramatically reduced identification error rates: A global pharmaceutical company compared various identification methodologies to assess identification error rates. They found the following identification error rates: - Ear tags - greater than 30% - Ear notches - greater than 20% - Labstamp tattoo - less than 3%. Dramatically increased identification efficiency: The same global pharmaceutical company found Labstamp provided: - 78% quicker animal identification compared to ear notches - 27% quicker identification compared to metal ear tags.
