Introducing Somark's wearable RFID tag readers which are suitable for mobile use across the laboratory through bluetooth!

Wearable RFID Tag Readers for Digitail™

Portable RFID tag readers for identification anywhere in the lab.

Wearable RFID Tag Readers

A wearable RFID tag reader provides the opportunity to turn the Digitail system into a mobile, portable identification solution. With readers worn on the wrist or around the neck, portability is maximised and enables the very best in efficiency.

Opting for wearable RFID tag readers is a versatile solution to extending the reading capabilities of the Digitail system. If you’re interested in the benefits of streamlined productivity and workflows, then a wearable wrist or neck RFID tag reader could be the perfect option for you.

In a preclinical research setting, the ability to scan tags whilst performing other tasks often seems unachievable. With wearable RFID tag readers, you can continue to handle cages and monitor animal behaviour whilst simultaneously scanning RFID tags.

This reduces the time spent manually inputting and transferring data, which leads to faster data collection. These precious time-saving readers will help you achieve the very best in efficiency!

WEARABLE

Mobile RFID Tag Readers

Through a bluetooth connect with the LinkTo software and the Digitail system, you can achieve a wireless mobile connection that allows laboratory management systems or databases to automatically capture your ID reads and behavioural insights.

The TSL 1153 Bluetooth Wearable RFID tag reader is an example of the portable solutions available from Somark. This compact, lightweight, high performance multifunction data collection device enhances mobility, flexibility and improves animal welfare.

Hands-free operation is achieved through a wrist-mounted or neck-lanyard style approach, which allows researchers to handle animals, equipment and samples without the need to operate the identification device.

The RFID tag reader is optimised for low power consumption whilst still providing excellent performance. It is also compatible with Android, IOS, Windows, MacOS and Rain RFID.

We order all wearable readers upon request of order to ensure that the reader is customised to your exact requirements.

PORTABILITY

Mobile RFID Tag Readers

The ultimate goal with handheld, portable or wearable RFID tag readers, is to enable fast and accurate identification reads whilst also proving the welfare of the study subjects during preclinical research.

With a portable or mobile solution, such as the wearable Digitail reader, you can significantly reduce the handling of laboratory mice and other subjects. Minimizing handling will reduce the stress rates, removing unnecessary movements or prolonged physical contact which can often affect behaviours.

Through minimal disturbance, both the mouse and the data will offer the most accurate and reliable insights.

For in vivo studies which require a particularly sterile laboratory setting, the wearable device also offers benefits in ensuring that the reader refrains from potential microbiological contamination since it remains with the operator throughout the entire read process. With benchtop readers, however, the subject is brought to the reader which often risks batch-to-batch processing.

Browse All RFID Tag Readers

We pride ourselves on moving away from the one-size-fits-all research approach, and with our system and reader types there is an option for all technicians.

For a dynamic preclinical research environment, a wearable reader will provide efficiency and productivity. For high throughput, however, benchtop or handheld options may be more suitable, particularly with stationary workflows.

Discover the portfolio below:

Benchtop Readers

long distance RFID readers can come in benchtop, handheld and wearable form for ultimate flexibility.

Digitail Benchtop Reader comes with the free LinkTo application to manage the reading of the Digitail™ Tag!

Handheld Readers

RFID animal tag reader options available at Somark include the benchtop and handheld readers

Useful for mobile scanning where full control from the operator is still required.
