We describe a RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technique suitable for use with the high sample packing densities found in biotechnology laboratories and storage systems. An innovative hardware design overcomes the collision problem. The transponders themselves are stored inside screening coils that can be magnetically disabled, allowing the reading of a single device in a close packed array. The technique can also be used to find the position of a particular transponder. Testing has, so far, been at room temperature but the system has been designed to operate down to liquid nitrogen temperatures
We describe a sample data encryption method and prototype system using RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology for anonymous biological samples and samples with pseudonyms. This method has been developed to improve sample logistics in high-throughput biological laboratories and large-scale biorepositories. An innovative hardware and software concept is presented which allows the (reversible and irreversible) encryption of sensitive sample data without the need of electronic connectivity. The technique allows complete or partial encryption of specific information blocks. This is useful for collaborative sample and data exchange between decentralized laboratories and biorepositories. Further possible uses include system-to-sample authentication or secure data access based on a four-eye principle
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
