Case Study: RFID Innovator Identifies Extech Printer As Essential Part Of Lab Animal Tracking Solution

You manage an animal care facility – a facility trusted by medical research investigators to track and trace every step involved in the housing and care of thousands of genetically engineered rodents. Your facility plays a central role in testing for potential cures for diseases and predicting the effects of new pharmaceuticals on humans. By just about any standard, it’s important work.

For obvious reasons, this testing is highly regulated by the federal government. To ensure the utmost accuracy and meet the standards of the government, Principal Investigators (your clients) and grant funding agencies, the animals under your care have to be regularly accounted for and the procedures they undergo have to be verified and documented.

This is a common problem facing hundreds of Animal Care facilities that deal with thousands of genetically altered, extremely important and valuable mice every day. How do these facilities eliminate discrepancies and ensure complete accountability in performing the care and tracking of these animals? It is a problem that one such facility, the University of Florida Animal Care Services, solved through the use of a revolutionary RFID technology solution.
