Tracer technical information
Each Tracer Advance microchip is fully encapsulated in a bio-compatible polymer tube and pre-loaded into a disposable implanter, sterilised and individually packed with the adhesive bar-coded labels needed to complete the registration.
10 x stronger, 12% lighter
A recent study has shown that the Bio-Polymer material, Vectra A530®, is 10 x stronger than glass when put under pressure and is 12% lighter than glass. Although reports on microchip breakage are rare, it is an important scientific development that gives you and your clients extra peace of mind and reassurance.
Just as effective as bio-glass, Vectra A530® is a patented liquid crystal polymer. It meets the ISO (International Standards Organisation) standards of bio-compatibility and has been approved by the USP (United States Pharmacopeia). The bio-polymer material, Vectra A530® has been tested and its tissue compatibility found to be excellent. It has also been accepted by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).
