nano tag® Implantable Activity Measuring Device Made by KISSEI COMTEC CO., LTD. nano tag® is an Implantable Activity and Temperature Measuring Device for Animals. MUROMACHI KIKAI CO., LTD. nano tag - 1 -

Feature Activity and Temperature Recording Rat Example data from NISSEI BILIS Co.,Ltd. and Shiga Laboratory The animal’s activity and body temperature are recorded by the nano tag®’s internal, three-axis accelerometer and temperature sensor. The following charts show activity data collected using nano tag® compared to the same data collected using an Infrared activity measuring system. nano tag®

Record from multiple animals simultaneously Multiple data recordings can be made from the same cage. This means that all of your animals can be implanted with a nano tag® device and activity and temperature data can be collected from all of them at the same time. Waterproof : IPX7 ( IEC529) nano tag® is waterproof and can be safely implanted into your animals. Continuously record for up to 60 days* The nano tag® internal battery will last for up to 2 months. Data can be recorded not only continuously but also intermittently for 60 days by turning on/off the power externally. Additionally, “Timer...

With a USB cable, you can place the PaSoRi® closer to the animal to retrieve data. Contactless RFID reader/writer (FeliCa® system) PaSoRi® (A USB cable is attached) Please note that FeliCa® communication is not available when nano tag® is implanted intraperitoneally. This is because the RFID card reader cannot be positioned close enough to the device. When implanting nano tag® intraperitoneally, start the recording before the implantation. In order to retrieve the data or stop recording the nano tag® must first be retrieved from the body. For retrieving data from nano tag®, the “nanotag/Viewer”...

Small and Lightweight The nano tag® is smaller than a dime (17.9mm dia.) and weights only 2.5g (including the battery). To make it lightweight and waterproof, nano tag® is a single-use device or disposable. The battery is unreplaceable. Activity measuring method Activity is defined as Cross Count Data. < Cross Count > Counts the number of times XYZ acceleration vector synthesized waveform crosses the threshold levels from bottom to top per Recording Interval (Cross Count). Threshold level Recording Intervals and Recordable Time (in days) For example, if you record both the activity and the temperature...
