Safety Information

Always follow basic safety precautions when using this product to reduce risk of injury from

fire or electric shock.

1. Please read and understand all the instructions included in the documentation that comes with the

Labstamp™ System.

2. Observe all warnings and follow all instructions provided with the product.

3. The suitability of tattooing any particular mouse using the Labstamp System is based upon tail size,

specifically tail girth. The range of acceptable tail girths is determined by the Labstamp Tail Gauge.

Determining the correct Restraint Cartridge and Needle Cartridge combination as prescribed by the Tail

Gauge, enables tattooing mice from weanling to adult. Using the Labstamp System on mice smaller or

larger than the Tail Gauge indicates may result in poor tattoo quality, cause harm to the animal, and/or

damage to the Needle Cartridge.

4. Anesthesia is not required for tattooing mice. Defer to your Ethics Committee or Animal Welfare Officer

for any animal welfare concerns.

5. The Labstamp System was designed and tested for use on mice. The Labstamp System was neither

designed for nor tested on rats.

8. Use only a grounded electrical outlet when connecting this product to a power source. If you do not know

whether the outlet is grounded, check with a qualified technician.

Cartridges are safe and designed to last for up to 50 tattoos.
