Bio-Thermo LifeChips:Bio-Thermo microchips read the temperature of the animal in which they are implanted! The Bio-Thermo LifeChips are made by Destron, a leader in RFID technology (Radio Frequency Identification). Bio-Thermo LifeChips are very small--about the size of a grain of rice. Each chip is assigned a 15 digit, unique ID code which is then registered in a database such as a livestock registry and stays associated with your animal for its entire life. A LifeChip is powered by energy in the radio signal from Destron’s Pocket Reader which activates the microchip. And once the signal is received by the chip, a sensor sends back the ID code along with the animal’s temperature. Only Destron Pock-Readers can read animal temperature info from Bio-Thermo LifeChips. The Benefits: There are many benefits of the LifeChip with Bio-Thermo Technology. For starters, readings are obtained fast and easily when the handheld reader passes over where the chip is implanted in the animals. You can check temperatures as often as you like with only minimal stress to animals & yourself (compared to rectal readings). From use at shows to checking pregnant females & crias, you’ll love the convenience and speed of the LifeChip and Reader. Implanting: Implanting microchips in livestock is becoming the industry standard for Camelids and other livestock industries. And when you do chip your animals, you help to protect them if they are stolen or lost. As a buyer, when an animal has been microchipped, you are sure you’re getting the animal you want. Each chip comes with a one-time use pre-loaded syringe and is sealed in a sterile package. The package contains stickers showing the 15 digit codes that can be sent in with registrations and added to your files. Bio-Bond: Glass capsule type chips can sometimes migrate after implanting & therefore be unavailable for important ID purposes. Destron Fearing microchips are manufactured with a patented Bio-Bond process. The material is bio-compatible with the animal’s tissue which enables the animal’s tissue to connect with the microchip greatly reducing the risk of migration and loss. Take advantage of Bio-Thermo LifeChip technology for your alpacas, llamas and other light livestock.

| Hi Jay. My vet was out to microchip again yesterday. She raves about the SmartChips that I have. She says they are the easiest to inject (when she remembers to take the safety off) and she likes the sharp needles on them. She wishes all her customers used them. - Jeanine Erdner-Tindall |
Click here for User Manual ![]() The Pocket Reader is a compact, easy to use, battery powered radio frequency device that reads and identifies electronic microchips. The Pocket Reader incorporates many user driven features and is designed specifically for use with companion animals. All operation of the Pocket Reader is performed with one simple function button. • Conforms to ISO: The Pocket Reader can be programmed to read all transponders which conform to ISO DIS 1 1785, including Annexes. Actual programming may vary according to need. • RF Surround: The reader's antenna is designed to surround the transponder in a high intensity magnetic field. This optimizes reading performance with the transponder in any operation. • Identifies multiple vendors' microchips: The Pocket Reader will read and display all Destron * Fearing transponders ID's as well as identify the existence of transponders made by other companies. • Pocket size: The reader fits easily into either hand of a male or female operator. The unit is lightweight and can be conveniently stored. • Battery level indicator: The Pocket Reader automatically displays battery power level. As battery life is decreased, the LCD battery display will reduce in size. • Battery powered: The unit operates on four universally available AAA batteries. • Low cost: This reader is affordable for any ones needs. |

| We are using those new SmartChip microchips and they are working great.
The price for the 10 pack saves us some money also since we chip over 100 animals a year.
These work just fine with our Destron Universal reader. Steve Johnson Manager Northwest Alpacas Ltd. www.alpacas.com |
