Smart Consumables in the Biotech Industry
Consumables in in-Vitro Diagnostics and Analytics are becoming more and more advanced in their use, as does the equipment they interact with to perform the analysis. Analyzers may require information from the consumables to process them properly and the ability to write information back to the consumable enhances logistics, safety and compliance.
RFID Technology of RFIsoft
RFID technology, is known for its contactless and cost effective information exchange and finds growing utilization in logistics applications. Moreover, recent advances in this technology have enabled read/write capability and the development of sterilizable tags will now allow for widespread use in medical and biotech applications.
RFIsoft is deploying RFID tags on the consumable. The tags contain small chips, in this case with memory, requiring no battery, electrical contacts or even line of sight to read or write the information reliably. RFIsoft designs the entire smart consumables management system to your specifications, utilizing its proprietary system's management software.
Reliable, Secure and Cost Effective
Information Exchange
Examples of information from the consumable are:

In the field, the analyzer' embedded RFID reader will read the information on the RFID tag, for use in the analyzer process steps.
