Common Questions

  • Which injector is this needle compatible with?

    The needle is compatible with the UMTI-10 Multi PIT Tag Injector.

  • How often should I replace the needle?

    Replace at the first signs of tip wear — a dulled or burred edge increases insertion force and tissue trauma. Most programs rotate needles between sites, between species, or after a set number of insertions defined in their IACUC or permit protocol. Keeping a box of 10 on hand lets you swap in a fresh needle without interrupting a tagging session.

  • Do the needles ship sterile?

    Needles ship non-sterile. Follow your IACUC or permit document guidance.
