Key Features
- 12mm glass-encapsulated form factor with biocompatible construction suitable for subcutaneous implantation in animal identification and livestock tracking applications
- Read-only RFID transponder operating at 134.2kHz low-frequency (LF) band with passive operation — no battery required, indefinite service life from inductive coupling
- CMOS-based asynchronous operating mode delivers robust data transmission at low frequencies penetrating water and tissue better than UHF RFID alternatives
Applications
TRPGR30ATGC is used in animal identification systems including livestock tracking in cattle, swine, and sheep where ISO 11784/11785 FDX-B or HDX standards require 134.2kHz glass-encapsulated injectable transponders. The 12mm glass capsule form factor is also deployed in laboratory animal research for individual subject identification without requiring anesthesia for re-reading. Industrial applications include tool tracking, asset management in wet or chemically harsh environments, and tamper-evident part serialization where the glass housing resists liquids and corrosives that would damage plastic RFID tags.

Frequently Asked Questions
What frequency does TRPGR30ATGC operate at and how does LF compare to UHF RFID for animal identification?
TRPGR30ATGC operates at 134.2kHz in the low-frequency (LF) RFID band. At 134.2kHz, radio waves penetrate water, tissue, and muscle with much less signal attenuation compared to 868MHz or 915MHz UHF RFID, making LF transponders far more reliable for subcutaneous animal implants where the antenna is surrounded by body tissue. UHF RFID achieves longer read ranges in free air but loses 10dB to 20dB of signal when surrounded by biological tissue.
What is the physical size of TRPGR30ATGC and how does it enable subcutaneous implantation?
TRPGR30ATGC measures 12mm in length with a glass capsule diameter of approximately 2.1mm. This slender cylindrical profile is small enough to be injected subcutaneously using a 12-gauge or 15-gauge implant needle into livestock such as cattle, pigs, and horses, or into companion animals and laboratory rodents. The glass enclosure provides biocompatibility and hermetic sealing to prevent body fluid ingress over the device's operational life.
Is TRPGR30ATGC a passive device and does it require a battery for operation?
Yes, TRPGR30ATGC is a fully passive transponder with no internal battery. It harvests energy inductively from the 134.2kHz reader field — typically providing 1mW to 10mW of rectified power at close range — and uses that energy to power its CMOS circuit and transmit its stored ID code back to the reader. Passive operation gives TRPGR30ATGC an unlimited operational life as long as the glass capsule remains physically intact.
Can TRPGR30ATGC be used in industrial asset tracking applications outside of animal identification?
Yes. TRPGR30ATGC's glass enclosure withstands oils, cleaning solvents, and humidity that degrade plastic RFID tag housings, making it suitable for tool and fixture tracking in metalworking, chemical processing, and food manufacturing environments. At 134.2kHz, the transponder can be read through 10mm to 20mm of non-metallic material, and its read-only architecture prevents unauthorized data modification, which is preferred in tamper-evident serialization and regulatory compliance tracking scenarios.
