NanoID mini pet microchip — ISO 11784/11785, 1.4 × 8 mm
An implantable FDX-B animal identification microchip that is smaller than the market standard, readable by any ISO scanner, and anchors a lifetime record for the animal.
NanoID is a 1.4 × 8 mm ISO 11784/11785 FDX-B pet microchip with a 15-digit globally unique code. It has about 70% less implant volume than a standard 2.12 × 12 mm chip, a 15+ year service life, an anti-migration coating and an optional temperature-sensing variant. ICAR certified and AAHA lookup registered. Supplied to US clinics, shelters and distributors.

Globally readable
ISO 11784/11785 gives every chip a globally unique code that veterinarians, shelters, and customs authorities can read wherever the animal was implanted.
Temperature sensing option
An optional variant reads body temperature at the same time as identity — an early indicator for infection, inflammation, and heat stress, and a longitudinal record for chronic case management.
A record, not just a number
Each chip anchors a lifetime file: vaccination, medical history, pedigree and DNA documentation where relevant, and a lost-pet mode that surfaces owner contact details on scan.
Why a smaller microchip
Less disturbance to subcutaneous tissue, a smaller wound, and no recovery period — the animal returns to normal activity immediately. That matters most for cats, toy breeds, puppies and kittens, exotics, and high-volume shelter implanting where speed and animal comfort count.
Scanning NanoID with a NanoReader shows the chip ID and a QR code that opens the lookup site directly. Buying for a shelter programme or for resale? See distributor and shelter supply.
Pet microchip FAQ
What standard does the NanoID pet microchip use?
NanoID is an ISO 11784/11785 FDX-B microchip. It carries a globally unique 15-digit code that ISO-compatible scanners used by veterinarians, shelters and customs authorities can read.
How small is the NanoID microchip?
1.4 × 8 mm. That is about one third narrower than the common 2.12 × 12 mm chip, and the implant has roughly 70% less volume, which means a smaller needle, a smaller wound and less disturbance to subcutaneous tissue.
Is a mini 1.4 × 8 mm microchip readable by standard US scanners?
Yes, any ISO 11785 (FDX-B, 134.2 kHz) compatible scanner reads the chip. Smaller chips generally have a shorter read range than 12 mm chips, so tell us the scanner models your clinic or shelter uses and we will confirm read performance before you order.
Is NanoID registered with the AAHA Universal Pet Microchip Lookup?
Yes. NanoID is AAHA lookup registered and ICAR certified, so a scanned NanoID number can be traced through the AAHA Universal Pet Microchip Lookup in the United States.
Is there a temperature-sensing microchip?
Yes. An optional NanoID variant reads body temperature at the same time as identity — useful as an early indicator of infection, inflammation and heat stress, and as a longitudinal record for chronic cases. It requires a temperature-capable reader.
How long does a NanoID microchip last?
15+ years in situ. The chip is sealed in biocompatible, waterproof, corrosion-resistant encapsulation with an anti-migration surface coating.
Do you supply microchips in bulk for shelters and distributors?
Yes. Inpetra supplies NanoID microchips with sterile applicators to veterinary clinics, shelters, rescue organisations and distributors in the US. Email sales@inpetra.net with your annual volume for volume pricing.
