SwifTAG and SwifTAG+
Injectable RFID tags for every animal
Each SwifTAG carries a permanent 15-digit ID. The handheld reader types it into whatever you already use, a spreadsheet, your colony software or the SwiftSCIENCE Research Platform, as keyboard input. No subscription needed.

How labs use it
Identify the animal before you record anything
One ID for life
A permanent 15-digit number, under the skin: it doesn't fade or run out of combinations like ear notches and tattoos.
Into any software
The reader shows the ID and acts as a keyboard: put the cursor in a field, scan, and the ID is typed in.
Shown: the handheld reader over a tagged toy mouse.
Scan first, then record
In the Research Platform, data entry starts from a scan: scan, weigh, record, next animal.
Recorded in the platform with made-up demo data.
SwifTAG+
Identification plus temperature
SwifTAG+ tags read tag-site temperature as well as the ID, with a compatible SwifTAG+ reader. We confirm the tag and reader for your species and measurement workflow, and the order, with you.
Order SwifTAG+
Tell us your species, the number of animals and how you measure temperature today. We'll recommend tags and a reader and confirm the order.
Request an orderEvaluate it in your workflow
We're working with labs to compare SwifTAG+ readings against their reference method: repeatability, read success and handling time. Tell us your species and current method.
