Handheld "Multishot" Coded Wire Tag Injector


The Multishot type tag injector is designed to meet the demand for a small, portable, handheld "field" injector to mark small batches of fish or very large specimens. The Multishot is not intended to replace the MKIV Automatic Injector which was developed to handle millions of cycles of tag injections.

The tags are supplied in continuous form on a plastic spool. The Multishot cuts a tag from the spool, magnetizes it and injects it into the specimen. The operator then verifies that the specimen contains a magnetic tag with any of the portable detectors (e.g. the wand or portable sampling detector [PSD])made by NMT for that purpose.
