Product Overview

Animal welfare is a cornerstone of responsible and ethical research. With the evolving demands of IACUC compliance, veterinary oversight, and real-time data needs, researchers require tools that offer both precision and simplicity.

AnyCage Lite by UID is a revolutionary solution for continuous, non-invasive, undisturbed monitoring of single- or group-housed research animals. Leveraging advanced RFID and implantable microchip technology, AnyCage Lite delivers 24/7 tracking of individual IDs, body temperatures, and zone location—right inside the animals’ home cages.

Whether you’re refining protocols, scaling up vivarium monitoring, or supporting ethical research practices, AnyCage Lite empowers your team to collect meaningful animal welfare data with ease.
