Visible Alpha Tags (VI Alpha) x 100 u. ²⁵

$ 100.00 USD

This product is sold by BIOWEB Global in LATAM, but if you are in United States or Canada please contact the vendor Northwest Marine Technology directly.

The VI Alpha Tags are a small, fluorescent tags with an alphanumeric code designed to identify individual animals. VI Alpha Tags are implanted internally but remain externally visible for easy recovery. The new VI Alpha Tags were introduced in 2010.

VI Alpha Tags are available in two sizes: standard (1.2 mm x 2.7 mm), shown in yellow, and large (2 mm x 5 mm), shown in orange. The larger tags are easier to read than the standard tags, and are suitable for larger animals.

Large tags have black lettering on a fluorescent orange background, while standard tags are available with black lettering on a fluorescent orange, red, yellow or green background. Each color has 2,500 different codes. The codes available are the letter-number-number combinations from A00 through Z99 (excluding Q00-Q99).

Tag readability and detection can be enhanced by fluorescing the tags with the VI Light.

VI Alpha Tags are easy to load. Slide the tag into the needle, and snap it off.

Each 100 tags ordered must be the same color, and will have consecutive coding.

Please contact us for advice about applications to particular species.

• VI Alpha Tags are easiest to read when they are placed under clear or translucent tissue. In some cases, the tags can be placed under pigmented tissue where they are not visible in ambient light, but can be seen when they are fluoresced with the VI Light. This tends to be more effective if the tissue is evenly pigmented rather than mottled.
  
  Many fish have transparent tissue (adipose eyelids, fin membranes, clear boney tissue, etc.), but tag retention varies by body location and species. For example, the adipose eyelids of salmonids have generally proven to be suitable for VI Alpha tags, but implants into similar tissue in mullet (Mugulidae) have been rapidly shed. Buckmeier and Irwin (2000) found that 100% of VI Alpha Tags implanted in the dorsal fin of channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus were shed. However, researchers with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources developed a successful method of implanting VI Alpha tags into the tongue of flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris). The size of the tagged animal is also important. Shedding rates from adipose eyelids of salmonids less than 150 mm total length can be excessive while retention in larger fish often exceeds 90%. More on Adipose Eyelid Tissue here.
  
  VI Alpha and VI Elastomer Tags are widely used for individual identification of amphibians as an alternative to toe clipping. Tag retention tends to be nearly 100%, although the visibility of the tags varies based on the pigmentation of the overlying skin.

  VI Alpha Tags are not as widely used as VIE, but there are also many publications available that describe their use. In thick skinned, or heavily pigmented species, the numbers may not be visible, so it is important to consider the species to be tagged and the location of the tag. For example, Clemas et al. (2009) found that the pigmentation of Litoria raniformis obscured the tags, but VI Alpha were reliable for tagging large Litoria ewingii. On the other hand, Heard et al. (2008) was able to tag juvenile Litoria raniformis with VI Alpha tags and found they remained readable. As with VIE tags, using the VI Light dramatically improves the detection and readability of VI Alpha tags, sometimes even through highly pigmented skin.
  
  Measey et al. (2001) found there to be no negative effects of VI Alpha tags in a legless amphibian (Gegeneophis ramaswamii), and further stated that when individual identification is necessary that these tags are the “most promising” of the investigated tags. Buchan et al. (2005) tested VI Alpha in a number of species, and concluded that VI Alpha “appears to be an effective and low cost method for individually marking and identifying amphibians”. Kaiser et al. (2009) evaluated and used VI Alpha Tags to track individual Dendropsophus microcephalus.
  
  Osbourne et al (2011) discuss the use of VI Alpha tags in juvenile ambystomid salamanders and provide extensive detail about their application and readability.
  
  VI Alpha Tags have been used to identify individual hatchling turtles by gluing them to the carapace (Rosenburg & Swift, 2010).

Visible Elastomer Tags (VIE) for Research Big Kits ²⁵

$ 1,315.80 USD

This product is sold by BIOWEB Global in LATAM, but if you are in United States or Canada please contact the vendor Northwest Marine Technology directly.

Don't cut more phalanx, fins neither ears.
Now you may use advanced tags.

NOTE: If you need less colors check the smallest kit of 6 ml. Also is available the trial pack for starter projects.

Visible Implant Elastomer (VIE) is a two-part silicone based material that is mixed immediately before use. VIE tags are injected as a liquid that soon cures into a pliable, biocompatible solid. The tags are implanted beneath transparent or translucent tissue and remain externally visible. In many amphibians, VIE tags are even visible through darkly pigmented skin. VIE tags are widely used for marking an ever-broadening range of finfish, crustaceans, reptiles, amphibians and small mammals. Check some papers below. Extensive information about using VIE is available in the Visible Implant Elastomer Tag Project Manual (English PDF 294KB;  Spanish PDF 217KB).

VIE is available in six fluorescent and four non-fluorescent colors. The fluorescent colors are highly visible under ambient light and provide the option of greatly enhanced tag detection when fluoresced with the VI Light.

Proper color selection is a vital part of good experimental design. Your choice depends on how much contrast you need with the background pigmentation, how many different colors you require, and the type of light you will use to fluoresce the tags.

VIE is a medical-grade, two-part silicone based material that is mixed immediately before use and then injected as a liquid that cures into a pliable, biocompatible solid. Immediately after mixing, the user will have between 45 to 60 minutes (in warm environments) and 2 hours (in cold environments) of working time during which the tags can be injected.

The time that the prepared elastomer can be used (the "working time") depends on the temperature of the place. At normal room temperature (20°C), it usually lasts 45-60 minutes before it is too thick to push through the syringe. It lasts longer when it's colder and less when it's hotter. Working time can be greatly extended by keeping the unused prepared elastomer on ice as much as possible.

For unmixed elastomer, you can store it for one year from the date of purchase in a cupboard, away from sunlight or heat. The unmixed elastomer should never be stored in the freezer.

Generate a Coding Scheme

While VIE is primarily used for batch identification, you can generate a VIE coding scheme by combining multiple tags, tag locations, and colors. For example, researchers tracking seahorses used this method to distinguish more than 500 individual seahorses at one time.

Six fluorescent colors (red, yellow, blue, orange, green, and pink) and four non-fluorescent colors (black, brown, white, and purple) constitute the only intrinsic VIE codes. If you use just one tag per fish, the number of unique codes is simply the product of the numbers of colors used and the number of tag locations.

However, if you inject two or more tags in each animal, in combination with several different locations and colors, you can generate an extensive VIE coding scheme. In any tagging program, it is important that all of the study animals have the same number of tags. That way, there can be no confusion between animals which lost tags and those which began with fewer tags.

¿How Many Codes?

Calculate the number of unique codes you could create using the formula:

[L!/(L-N)!N!] CN

Where: C= Number of colors used, L= Number of body locations and N = Number of tags per animal.

For example, three body locations used with four colors (C = 4, L = 3, N = 3) would provide: (3!/0!3!) 43 = 64 unique codes. Recall that 0!=1.

Wildco Alpha Water Sampler Vertical Acrylic Kit ²⁵

$ 811.65 USD

Wildco Alpha Series Vertical Water Sampler with up to 8.2 L Volume

Ideal for Plankton and Sediment Collection with Opaque PVC or Transparent Acrylic Options

Use this sampler in slightly corrosive water, saltwater, or water with large amounts of suspended or sticky colloidal solids. Its wide mouth allows you to collect a true water sample without contamination from other water levels. During descent, the open mouth does not restrict water flow, making it particularly suitable for collecting plankton and floating sediments. You can order this versatile bottle in either transparent acrylic or opaque PVC. The PVC is more durable and less costly, while the acrylic allows you to view the sample contents immediately.

This sampler is not suitable for trace metal analysis (e.g., mercury or phosphorus) due to potential contamination from the materials in its structure. For precision chemical analysis, we recommend our Beta Bottle water samplers.

NOTE: Volume may vary slightly. We recommend that you confirm the exact volume of your bottle prior to each use.

Features

• Choose from a wide range of volumes, from 2.2 L to 8.2 L, to suit your needs.
• Its wide-mouth design is perfect for collecting plankton and floating sediments without restricting flow.
• Features a 316 stainless steel trip head for maximum durability in demanding conditions.
• Ensures sample integrity as no metal parts come into contact with the collected water.
• Its high-grade polyurethane resin seals guarantee a reliable, leak-proof closure.
• The complete kit includes everything you need to get started: a carrying case, messenger, and a 100 ft. line.

Wildco Alpha Water Samplers Horizontal Acrylic ²⁵

$ 733.00 USD

Wildco Alpha Series Horizontal Water Sampler with up to 4.2 L Volume

Collect Representative Samples at Specific Depths with Opaque PVC or Transparent Acrylic Options

You can use this sampler in shallow or deep waters. The bottle is called "horizontal" because it descends parallel to the bottom, and you must pull it sideways just before closing it with the messenger. This ensures you get a representative water sample for that specific depth. It is ideal for sampling at the thermocline, other particular stratification levels, or just above the bottom sediments. You can order this popular and versatile bottle in either transparent acrylic or opaque PVC. The PVC is more durable and less costly, while the acrylic allows you to view the bottle's contents immediately.

This sampler is designed for general sampling and is not suitable for trace metal analysis due to the potential for contamination (e.g., mercury and phosphorus) from the materials in its structure. For precision chemical analysis, we recommend our Beta Bottle water samplers.

NOTE: Volume may vary slightly. We recommend that you confirm the exact volume of your bottle prior to each use.

Features

• Allows you to choose from volumes of 2.2 L, 3.2 L, and 4.2 L to suit your sampling needs.
• Select between durable opaque PVC or transparent acrylic for immediate sample viewing.
• Its horizontal design is ideal for you to take precise samples from the thermocline and other specific water layers.
• Ensures sample integrity, as no metal parts come into contact with the collected water.
• Features polyurethane seals that guarantee a reliable, leak-proof closure upon triggering.

Wildco Beta Plus Water Sampler Vertical Acrylic ²⁵

$ 647.00 USD

Larger bottles are good for collecting small plankton. The wide-open mouth collects a true water sample with no contamination from other water levels. Water flow is not restricted during descent - desirable for collecting plankton, floating sediments and for metallic ion avoidance. Your choice of transparent acrylic or more durable opaque PVC.

Designed for trace metal sampling. Also may be used for organic sampling to concentrations of mg/L. When running metal, organic, or any other chemical analyses, it is best to run a blank on the sampler prior to use.

This bottle is excellent for near off-shore (to 200 m) trace metal sampling, since there are no metal parts to touch your sample. You avoid the metallic ion contamination that can cause major errors in algal assays or productivity. Beta Van Dorn bottles have rigid, white plastic end seals for clean sealing. The bottle ends are machined to fit foam silicone gaskets. Amber latex tubing, which does not leach measurable amounts of metal, closes the bottle. Beta™ bottles feature a nylon safety line connecting the end seals, so if the closing tube breaks, you’re less likely to lose your expensive seals. This is why Beta bottles have an excellent track record in a wide variety of field conditions.

This sampler requires a messenger and line (included in kits) for operation. It is not suitable for series sampling. A thermometer can be mounted inside acrylic Beta bottles.

This sampler is excellent for near-shore trace metal sampling (up to 200 m), as no metal parts touch your sample, avoiding metallic ion contamination that can cause errors in algal assays or productivity studies. It features rigid, white plastic end seals and foam silicone gaskets for a clean, secure closure. Amber latex tubing, which does not leach metals, is used to close the bottle.

NOTE: Volume may vary slightly. We recommend that you verify the exact volume of your bottle prior to each use.
