ETAG dual RFID Reader
Founding developers Eli Bridge, Jay Wilhelm, Meelyn Pandit and Jessica Ruyle
$139.00 USD
This dual RFID reader is an Arduino based hardware system that scans RFID tags and logs the associated data . It integrates with the Electronic Transponder Analysis Gateway (ETAG). This open source database and software system provides professional data management and versatile data dissemination. It is used by the growing community of researchers who apply Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to advance biological inquiries in fields like animal behavior, ecological physiology, and community ecology.
ETAG frees up time from the management of data collection, analysis, and curation (currently done by hand), leaving researchers with more time for science.
