Animal markers

The Animal Marker was developed for easy, long-lasting identification of laboratory animals.

• Nontoxic and devoid of any hazardous materials*
• A single marker can be used to mark 300-500 animals (depending upon animal size and/or applied area)
• Once applied, colors remain for 6-12 weeks
• Intended for use on non-black fur, and will not remain on the animal's skin
• Broad and fine tip markers available

*Unlike permanent or art markers, which can contain chemicals harmful to animals, the Animal Markers use "legal pigments" that are approved and regulated by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, for use in food, drugs, and cosmetics.

CAUTION: Colors can stain skin and clothing. The use of gloves and lab coats is recommended.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: 

1. Uncap the Animal Marker with its cap facing up. 

2. Prime the tip by pushing it against paper several times until it is properly filled with pigment. 

3. Apply it to the fur of the animal. 

4. NOTE: Application to the face of the animal should be avoided to prevent contact with the eyes. It is  intended for use on non-black fur. The ink is designed not to last on the animal's skin (e.g. tail, paw, etc.). 

5. Let dry for approximately 3-5 minutes.  NOTE: Bedding material may attach to the applied ink while wet, but will come off once dried. 

STORAGE: Animal Markers would be best stored in low-humidity environment and out of direct sunlight.
