NMT’s new VI Alpha tags are easy to load. Slide the tag into the needle,
and snap it off. |
In all of our testing, the retention and readability of the new VI Alpha Tags was at least as high as the soft VI Alpha Tags, and all testers were delighted with the ease of using the new tags.
We also redesigned the VI Alpha Injector for 2010. The new needle is much sharper and can be inexpensively replaced. Existing injectors can be retrofitted with the new needle to accommodate the new tags.

For a limited time, custom orders of the soft VI Alpha Tags will be available for continuing projects. Please contact NMT Biology (biology@nmt.us; 360-596-9400) for availability and pricing. |
