AIMS^TM animal tattoo identification was developed for safety and efficiency by private and university researchers with the assistance of the US National Institutes of Health. Tattoo identification is a humane and cost effective method for the permanent identification of research animals. This has been well documented over the years and AIMS^TM continues to conduct extensive research on tattooing techniques, equipment, tattoo pigment chemistry, safety, and

performance in an effort to provide customers with the most advanced technology for animal tattoo identification

AIMS^TM tattoo pigments and supplies are SAFE and NON-TOXIC to laboratory animals. Extensive in vitro toxicity testing and several in vivo lifetime rodent studies have been performed

	Tattoos are permanent for the life of the animal.
	Tattoos are easier and faster to read than other methods of identification.
	Animals can be tattooed very rapidly, up to 200 mice per hour.
	Tattoos can be used to identify day old mice or rats.
	Animal stress is minimal and the physiology status of animals is not altered.
	No need for anesthesia for rats or mice.
	The incidence of animal bites is reduced.
	Tattoos are routinely used to identify nude, athymic and transgenic animals
	Tails can be saved in formalin with tissues as a positive source of identification.
	Tattooed tails do not fall off like ear tags.
