United States: TOPAZ Technologies and Tecniplast USA Launch RFID Mobile Census.Byline: shiv03 TOPAZ topaz (tō`păz), aluminum silicate mineral with either hydroxyl radicals or fluorine, Al2SiO4(F,OH)2, used as a gem. Technologies, a leading provider of medical research management software for the Life Sciences industry, and Tecniplast USA, a subsidiary of the Tecniplast Group, a leading supporter of Laboratory Animal Science, today announced a joint solution, RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) A data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag, also known as an "electronic label," "transponder" or "code plate," is made up of an RFID chip attached to an antenna. (Radio Frequency Identification See RFID. ) Mobile Census, developed to increase the speed and efficiency of the animal census process. The RFID Mobile Census, which uses radio waves Radio waves Electromagnetic energy of the frequency range corresponding to that used in radio communications, usually 10,000 cycles per second to 300 billion cycles per second. to identify and track objects from a few meters away, allows facilities to scan any laboratory animal caging, with the wave of a wand A handheld optical reader used to read typewritten fonts, printed fonts, OCR fonts and bar codes. The wand is waved over each line of characters or codes in a single pass. , and incorporate collected data into any 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. This RFID-based cage census solution data is then available for upload See download. upload - /uhp'lohd/ To transfer programs or data over a digital communications link from a smaller or peripheral "client" system to a larger or central "host" one. Opposite: download. to the facility's animal management software. 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, equipped with embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. passive RFID transponders. "This solution arose from the needs of a top-tier research facility to adapt animal census processes to work with their existing software and housing. The challenge was presented to our technology office and TOPAZ Technologies," explained Marco Carrara, president and chief executive officer of Tecniplast USA. "Working together we were able to develop a solution that fit any type of caging and animal management software." "RFID technology is now at a point where it can be used, cost-effectively, to streamline the cage census process. The use of radio frequency transponders and mobile software has the power to change how animal facilities collect cage census information," said J. Patrick Guider, Jr., president and chief executive officer of TOPAZ Technologies. "This RFID-based cage census solution will result in improved resource management and decreased time spent collecting cage census data." To see the RFID Mobile Census up close, visit TOPAZ Technologies (booth 1143) and Tecniplast USA (booth 925) at the 60th National AALAS AALAS American Association for Laboratory Animal Science meeting in Denver, Colorado from November 8th through the 12th.
