LinkTo RFID Reader Software
LinkTo is a specialized RFID reader software available for the Digitail animal identification tag.
Available to download from the Somark website, we chose this system because it is designed to integrate seamlessly with any existing laboratory information systems. The complete animal identification tagging system, Digitail and LinkTo combined, enables efficient animal tracking and data management.
The Digitail RFID Tagging system not only improves the welfare of the animal, but helps to deliver new levels of accuracy, consistency and data integrity within a pre-clinical research setting. From the Digitail Injector to the Safety Restraint and the range of RFID tag readers, every component of the system works together with the LinkTo application software seamlessly to ensure easy, efficient, and humane animal identification.
LinkTo Application – Automating data transfer using RFID reader software
the Digitail mouse RFID tag has been administered (SOP available within Resources), the LinkTo App ensures smooth data management by directing the unique ID associated with the Digitail tag to your designated storage location. With RFID reader software, you can:
- Display the mouse RFID tag ID: Confirm that an animal has been successfully tagged.
- Copy the ID: Easily paste the ID into one or more programs for further processing.
- Transfer the ID: Efficiently load multiple IDs into a program, where each ID is automatically pasted into the cursor location within an open program.
Additionally, LinkTo supports advanced functionality, including transferring information over a named pipe—an option particularly useful for StudyLog users, where the system recognizes the incoming data as a mouse ID.
The system is built to deliver automated processes across the entire chain of custody. All you need is to tag your objects; plug in your readers and devices and connect to the internet.
The LinkTo software application allows automatic transfer of the animal ID to any of your systems. It’s innovative capability to connect to existing ELN and LIMS systems while working alongside the RFID tag readers enables fast set up and accurate ongoing reading of Digitail Tags. The RFID reader software ensures you can correctly collect and associate experimental or observational data with the right animal every time, removing risk of errors from your data.
