BackHome® BioTec is an advanced state-of-the-art electronic pet identification system. It offers a complete range of products that allow your practices to offer an comprehensive microchipping service.
The BackHome Transponder & Implanter
BackHome® transponder and implanter are provided inside a sterile transparent pack.
Each tiny transponder capsule is made of highly resistant, biocompatible polymer (therefore perfectly tolerated by the animal).
It is virtually unbreakable and up to 20% lighter than glass (therefore resulting in less risk of migration).
VIRBAC offers 6 bar code stickers for each implanter, thereby enabling various uses (owner, veterinarian, file, vaccination record, card).
The Reader
The BackHome® scanners are all reading ISO FDX-B transponders & present one or more of these assets:
- Big memory (saving the codes in the scanner)
- Good reading distance
- Connection to computers
The transponder implanted under the animal's skin has no energy and thus is completely inert. When stimulated by a scanner (which emits low-frequency radio waves), it is 'activated' (in fact, the transponder uses the energy from the scanner: this is known as induction technique).
In turn, the transponder sends back a radio wave sensed by the scanner which shows the number that is inside the microchip on a liquid-crystal display… the whole process last only a few milliseconds!
The scanner interprets the signal by converting binary data into decimal data and a code can then be read on the scanner display or a computer screen.
