The present invention relates to a clamp () for handling a device for identifying an animal and/or sampling animal tissue, said clamp () comprising two jaws (), a handle () for moving said jaws () together, and means () for securing an element of said identification and/or sampling device to one of said jaws (), said securing means () being movable between: According to the invention, said clamp () comprises actuation means () for moving said securing means () from one to the other position thereof, said actuation means () being actuatable via said handle ().

Gripper for manipulating a device for identifying an animal and/or removing tissue from an animal comprising holding means with remote actuation

Collection tube for laboratory analysis

A female part of an animal-identifying device, which includes a cavity intended to receive a head of a male part of the animal-identifying device. The cavity includes a blocking element provided within the cavity to hold the head inside the cavity. The blocking element includes a base and at least two resilient claws extending from the base towards an entrance of the cavity. The claws are movable between several positions, including: a resting position before insertion of the head into the cavity, in which the claws are relaxed; an insertion position, in which the claws are stressed into opening; and a blocking position after insertion of the head into the cavity, enabling blocking of the head inside the cavity.

Female part of an animal-identification device comprising an element for locking the male part inside the female part

The invention pertains to a system for identifying an animal comprising a male part (), cooperating with at least one cutting element intended to cut out a sample of animal tissue, a female part () with open head having a through-channel, and a detachable device () for storing said sample, intended to be fixed to one end of said through-channel. According to the invention, the system also comprises means for closing said head that can take at least two positions, comprising an open position enabling the passage of said sample through the through-channel during a collecting operation, and an irreversible closed position by which the channel is closed in the vicinity of said one end () subsequently to the collecting operation.

Animal identification system including a male portion, female portion and removable device for storing a sample

A female part of an animal-identifying device, which includes a cavity intended to receive a head of a male part of said animal-identifying device. The cavity has a blocking element to hold the head inside the cavity. The blocking element has a base and at least two resilient claws extend from the base towards the entrance of the cavity. The claws are movable between at least two positions, one insertion position enabling the insertion of the head into the cavity and one blocking position enabling the blocking of the male head inside the cavity.

The invention relates to a unit for marking and/or sampling animal tissue, including a male portion () for marking and/or sampling tissue, and a female portion () for marking and/or receiving said tissue. According to the invention, such a unit includes an intermediate element () for connecting said male and female portions together, said intermediate connection element () having a first portion () for rigidly connecting to said male portion and a second portion () for rigidly connecting to said female portion, enabling said male and female portions to be supported along a single marking and/or sampling axis (AA) before marking and/or sampling said animal tissue, wherein the intermediate connection element is releasable.

Unit for marking and/or sampling animal tissue and corresponding marking and/or sampling tool

The invention relates to a tool for collecting a sample of animal tissue, for interacting with collection mechanism including at least one cutting element capable of cutting out a sample and a pushing element movable with respect to the cutting element and capable of pushing the sample into post-cutting storage area. According to the invention, such a tool includes: a mechanism for driving the cutting element (), a mechanism for driving the pushing element (), and a mechanism for reversibly coupling the drive mechanism of the cutting element with the drive mechanism of the pushing element.

Tool for collecting a sample of animal tissue

The invention relates to a device for collecting a tissue sample from an animal, comprising: a collection means having at least one cutting element () for cutting a tissue sample from the animal, and a means for storing said sample. According to the invention, the collection means also includes a push element () which can move in relation to the cutting element () in order to push the sample into the storage means after the sample has been cut with said cutting element ().
