COVID-19 research
Researchers are working vigorously in search for effective treatments for COVID-19. Significant research is focused on vaccine, antibody, and drug therapy development against the novel coronavirus (SARSCoV-2) using animal models, which are essential for testing the safety and efficacy of these therapies in vivo. Body temperature is a critical clinical indicator for COVID-19, as well as in other infectious disease models, but it is often not evaluated due to measuring challenges.
RFID Temperature Microchips and Readers from UID Identification Solutions provide a reliable, convenient and non-intrusive method for routine temperature collections in lab animals. Accurate temperature data is easily collected with a simple scan, as often as needed and without stressing the animals.
