TOPAZ Technologies, a provider of medical research management software, and Tecniplast USA, a laboratory equipment supplier, have teamed up to develop RFID Mobile Census, a solution designed to increase the speed and efficiency of the laboratory animal census process.
The RFID Mobile Census allows facilities to scan any laboratory animal cage and incorporate collected data into animal management software. With this RFID-based cage census solution,
research facilities can scan hundreds of animal cage cards to capture and verify corresponding animal census data in a few seconds.
The RFID Mobile Census represents a combination of TOPAZ Technologies’ Mobile Census, which is mobile scanner software for managing the animal census process, and Tecniplast USA’s cage card holders, which are embedded with passive RFID transponders.
TOPAZ Technologies and Tecniplast USA will present their RFID Mobile Census solution at the 60th National American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS) meeting in Denver,
Colorado from November 8th through the 12th.
