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.
- the Multishot is about 10 ounces in weight, 11 inches long (27.9 mm), 2 inches (5.1
mm) wide and 2 inches (5.1 mm) deep
- the Multishot has a high grade aluminum housing and many of its components are
stainless steel
- the Multishot can be used to mark 200 to 400 fish per hour
- the Multishot can inject standard length (1.1 mm), one and a half length (1.65 mm)
or
double length (2.2 mm) tags (it can not be used to inject half length tags)
- the Multishot can be used with head molds to assist tag placement
- the Multishot carries NMT's standard warranty and can be purchased or
rented
