2.12 × 12 mm Animal Identification Microchip in UAE
The 2.12 × 12 mm animal microchip is a small passive LF RFID glass transponder designed for permanent or long-term identification of compatible animals through an electronic identification number.
The commonly available configuration operates at:
134.2 kHz
using:
FDX-B
and is designed around:
ISO 11784 / ISO 11785
animal identification standards. Current animal-ID suppliers list 2.12 × 12 mm as one of the established glass-transponder sizes for pet and livestock identification.
The microchip does not contain GPS, does not actively transmit a location, and does not require an internal battery.
It stores an identification code that can be read when a compatible animal microchip reader is brought within reading range.

2.12 × 12 mm Bioglass Construction
Animal microchips of this type are normally enclosed in a small biocompatible glass capsule.
Current animal-identification product ranges list:
- 1.25 × 7 mm
- 1.4 × 8 mm
- 2.12 × 12 mm
as common implantable glass-transponder sizes.
The 2.12 × 12 mm format is larger than modern mini-microchip formats and should therefore be selected according to:
- Animal type
- Veterinary preference
- Implantation method
- Applicable identification requirements
ISO 11784 / ISO 11785
For international animal identification, two standards are especially relevant:
ISO 11784
defines the code structure used for radio-frequency animal identification.
ISO 11785
defines technical communication between the animal transponder and compatible reader.
Current 134.2 kHz FDX-B animal-ID transponders are commonly supplied in configurations designed to comply with these standards.
For tenders or regulated programs, documentary evidence of compliance should be requested from the supplier for the exact batch and manufacturer being quoted.
FDX-B 134.2 kHz
FDX-B stands for:
Full Duplex – B
It is one of the widely used LF RFID formats for animal identification.
The operating frequency is:
134.2 kHz
A compatible reader energizes the passive microchip and receives the stored identification number.
Passive RFID — No Battery
The microchip is passive.
This means it contains:
- No rechargeable battery
- No disposable battery
- No SIM card
- No GPS receiver
- No active cellular transmitter
The reader supplies the electromagnetic field required for communication.
This is one reason passive RFID microchips can be used for long-term identification applications.
Important: This Is Not a GPS Tracker
A common misunderstanding is that an implanted animal microchip continuously tracks an animal.
It does not.
The microchip provides an electronic identification number when scanned by a compatible reader at close range.
It does not normally provide:
- Real-time GPS location
- Mobile-app location tracking
- Cellular communication
- Long-range tracking
If active real-time location tracking is required, a separate GPS/cellular animal-tracking device would be needed.
Read Distance
Read distance depends on:
- Reader antenna
- Reader power
- Microchip orientation
- Implantation position
- Animal tissue
- Environmental interference
- Chip design
Current 2.12 × 12 mm FDX-B references commonly quote short-range reading distances in the approximate 0–10 cm range, depending on the reader and conditions.
NEOTECH® does not recommend promising a fixed read distance without testing the actual chip/reader combination.
Unique Identification Code
Animal-identification microchips are generally supplied with a unique electronic code.
Depending on the selected chip and project, manufacturers may also supply:
- Printed barcode labels
- Matching ID stickers
- Packaging labels
- Database references
- ICAR-related numbering options
The exact code structure should be confirmed before bulk procurement.
ICAR Consideration
For formal livestock or recognized animal-identification programs, the customer may require:
- ICAR manufacturer/product registration
- Country code allocation
- Manufacturer code
- Traceable unique numbers
Not every generic 134.2 kHz chip should automatically be described as ICAR-approved.
If ICAR status is required, NEOTECH® should obtain the supporting documentation for the exact brand, chip and number allocation before quotation.
Sterile Implanter Option
Many animal microchips are available preloaded inside a single-use implantation syringe.
Current market configurations commonly include:
- Glass transponder
- Sterile single-use implanter
- Stainless steel implantation needle
- Individual sterile pouch
- Barcode labels
Some suppliers describe EO / ethylene oxide sterilization.
However, the customer inquiry only says:
Animal Microchip — Glass Model T.I.S — Glass Size 2.12 × 12 mm
It does not confirm whether a sterile syringe/implanter is required.
For this inquiry, that must be clarified before final quotation.
Important Inquiry Clarification
For the 2,000-piece Crown Farms requirement, I recommend confirming these points before pricing:
1. Standard
Do they require:
ISO 11784 / ISO 11785 FDX-B?
2. Frequency
Is the required frequency:
134.2 kHz?
3. Supply Format
Do they require:
- Glass transponder only
- Preloaded sterile syringe
- Individual sterile packaging
4. Numbering
Do they require:
- Factory-programmed unique IDs
- ICAR-compliant numbering
- Specific country/manufacturer code
- Random unique numbering
5. Barcode Labels
How many matching barcode labels are required per chip?
6. Sterilization
Is EO-sterile packaging mandatory?
7. Certification
Do they require:
- ISO declaration
- ICAR certificate
- CE or other supporting documentation
- Sterilization certificate
- Batch traceability
8. Application
Is the microchip for:
- Cattle
- Sheep/goats
- Horses
- Pets
- Another animal type
This matters because 2.12 × 12 mm may be correct for one program but not necessarily the preferred size for every animal.
Veterinary and Animal Identification Applications
Potential applications include:
- Veterinary animal identification
- Pet identification
- Livestock identification
- Breeder records
- Farm animal management
- Shelter identification
- Animal traceability
- Ownership identification
- Veterinary registration
The microchip itself only supplies the electronic identity.
Registration databases, software and legal records are separate systems.
Cattle and Livestock Applications
The 2.12 × 12 mm format may be considered for certain livestock and farm-animal identification programs.
However, many livestock programs may alternatively use:
- Ear tags
- HDX tags
- FDX-B ear tags
- Rumen bolus tags
depending on the animal and regulatory requirement.
The customer’s intended identification program should therefore be confirmed.
Pet Identification
The same 134.2 kHz FDX-B technology is also widely associated with companion-animal microchipping.
Modern pet applications often use smaller transponder sizes as well, so 2.12 × 12 mm should not automatically be described as the preferred pet size.
The veterinarian or project specification should determine the size.
Animal Shelters
Potential applications include:
- Identification
- Intake records
- Adoption tracking
- Ownership records
- Reunification workflows
The microchip number normally needs to be linked to an appropriate registration database to make the identification useful beyond the reader display.
Breeders
Breeders may use microchip IDs to associate an animal with:
- Pedigree records
- Health records
- Ownership
- Internal breeding records
Again, the electronic ID alone does not contain these full records; it functions as an identifier linked to another system.
Reader Compatibility
A compatible reader should support:
134.2 kHz
and:
FDX-B / ISO 11784 / ISO 11785
NEOTECH® already has indexed pages for compatible-category animal RFID readers, including a 134.2 kHz Animal RFID Reader and BYX Smart 134.2 kHz RFID Animal Reader, making them logical internal links from this microchip page.
Reader and Microchip Workflow
A typical process is:
Animal
↓
Implanted 134.2 kHz FDX-B Microchip
↓
Compatible Animal Microchip Reader
↓
Unique ID Displayed
↓
ID Checked Against Registration / Farm / Veterinary Database
The reader does not automatically know the owner or animal details unless the ID has been registered in the relevant system.

Why NEOTECH® UAE?
Animal-identification microchips look simple, but several details can materially change whether a product is acceptable.
Before supplying a bulk order, NEOTECH® recommends confirming:
Is the required protocol definitely FDX-B?
Is 134.2 kHz mandatory?
Is ISO 11784/11785 required?
Is ICAR registration required?
Is the chip supplied alone or inside a sterile syringe?
How many barcode labels are required?
What animal is being identified?
Which reader/database will be used?
This prevents purchasing a microchip that is physically the correct size but wrong for the customer’s identification program.

Disclaimer - NEOTECH® UAE
NEOTECH® is operated by NEOLYN TECHNOLOGY LLC in the UAE.
This page describes a 2.12 × 12 mm implantable animal-identification glass transponder configuration commonly available as 134.2 kHz FDX-B under ISO 11784 / ISO 11785. Current manufacturer and supplier references confirm that 2.12 × 12 mm is a standard available size in this category.
The customer inquiry that prompted this page specifies “Animal Microchip – Glass Model T.I.S – Glass Size 2.12 × 12 mm – Qty 2,000”, but it does not itself specify frequency, protocol, sterilization, ICAR status, numbering scheme or syringe configuration. Those items should therefore be confirmed before a commercial quotation.
“ISO-compatible,” “ICAR-certified,” “sterile,” “biocompatible,” “unique ID,” or similar technical/compliance claims should only be applied to the exact supplied product when supported by manufacturer documentation.
The microchip is an identification transponder, not a GPS tracking device.
Implantation should be performed by an appropriately qualified person and in accordance with applicable veterinary, animal-welfare and local regulatory requirements.
Reader compatibility depends on frequency, protocol, reader antenna and the exact chip configuration.
Images may show a representative microchip or implantation syringe rather than the final supplied brand/configuration.
