AnyCage Lite reader with rectangular antenna, pre-paired and ready to mount.

An AnyCage Lite reader shipped with the 2″ × 5″ rectangular antenna already paired — the configuration most labs want for standard shoebox cages. Side-mount the antenna with the included magnetic clamp, plug the reader into a PC running DataCollector, and start streaming per-animal ID and body temperature without handling the cohort.

Frequently asked questions

  • Which AnyCage system does this work with?

    AnyCage Lite. The reader is the Lite generation and pairs with the AnyCage Lite 4-Position Cradle/Hub or runs directly to a PC over USB. It does not replace an AnyCage Plus or Mouse Matrix reader.

  • What cages does the 2″ × 5″ rectangular antenna fit?

    Standard shoebox cages. The slim rectangular footprint sits flush against the cage wall and the magnetic clamp holds it without modifying the cage. If you're running a non-standard cage geometry, contact us with dimensions before ordering.

  • Are tags included?

    No. UCT-2112 temperature tags and the implant injector are sold separately. If you're starting from zero, the AnyCage Lite Starter Kit bundles four reader/antenna pairs plus 24 tags and an injector.

  • Can I run multiple of these on one PC?

    Yes. Add the AnyCage Lite 4-Position Cradle/Hub to power and aggregate up to four readers into a single DataCollector instance. No license change required.

Expanding an AnyCage Lite cohort?

Tell us your cage format and how many positions you're adding. We'll confirm the antenna shape fits and quote readers, tags, and cradles together.
