Real-World RFID Applications
UID builds RFID identification and monitoring systems for pre-clinical research, veterinary, fish & wildlife, and industrial work. Here's what they're used for, and where to get yours.
Identify and Monitor the Animals in Your Care
-
Animal ID
A permanent unique ID implanted once and readable for the animal's whole life.
-
Temperature
ID and core body temperature on a single scan, to ±0.1 °C.
-
Home-cage monitoring
Temperature and activity stream from inside the cage, 24/7, without opening it or handling the animal.
-
Pet microchips
Ships pre-registered to the clinic, so a lost pet links straight back to its owner from day one.
-
PIT tagging
A field tag that reads through water and tissue and lasts the life of the animal.
-
Data on the chip
Write the study number, genotype, or date of birth right onto the chip, up to 16 characters you can read on the spot.
From Controlled Substances to the Production Line
One Read Drops Straight Into Your Records
Scan an animal, a sample, or a tagged item and the ID appears where you are already working. Most UID readers type the read into whichever field has focus — spreadsheet or LIMS form.
- No transcription — the number types itself in, so it lands right the first time.
- Works with the software you run — USB, Bluetooth, or serial into Excel or a LIMS.
- One reader for the whole line — any UID reader reads any UID chip, with no chip-specific pairing.
