UID RFID Animal Identification
UID Identification Devices: tag once, ID for the rest of your study.
We added the UID RFID line to our catalog — microchips, injectors, readers, in-cage monitoring, and the software that ties it together.
One implant gives every animal a permanent identity you read with a scan instead of squinting at an ear tag. Add a temperature microchip when you need core temp, or AnyCage Lite when you want reads without lifting the animal at all.
Animal welfare and data quality don't have to be separate goals.
The way you handle the animal can show up in the physiology you measure. A permanent RFID ID means less repeat handling, cleaner records, and a reading that ties to the right animal every time.
Better Workflows — scan it, don't squint at it
Read a permanent ID in one pass — handheld at the bench, desktop for throughput, or portable in the vivarium. Implant quickly with a pistol-grip or syringe injector. Let AnyCage Lite read animals right in the cage and write straight to the data-collection software, so the count comes off the clipboard.
Better Welfare — one implant, less handling
A lifetime RFID chip replaces repeat ear-tag checks and re-tagging. In-cage monitoring collects reads without removing or restraining the animal. And when you need core temperature, the temperature microchip is read by scan — no rectal probe. Less handling, less distress, less physiological noise.
Better Data — the number matches the animal
A unique, unchangeable ID ends the mix-ups that come from a smudged tag or a missed ear notch. Temperature-compatible readers fold a core-temp reading into the same scan. Automated capture into software removes the hand-transcription step — the exact spot where errors slip into a dataset.
