Summary
This technology feature examines how RFID can improve identification, breeding records, behavior research, and data integrity in genetically modified mouse colonies. Automated readers can follow group-housed animals around the clock without an observer disrupting nocturnal or social behavior, while writable chips and linked software can connect each mouse to procedures, samples, genetics, and tissue records. UID UC-2112 programmable microchips are one example of this approach.
