Which RFID Tool Is Right For Your Lab?

Security is an overriding concern for lab managers, and one of the most important security tools at their disposal is access control equipment to provide and limit access to only those who are authorized to enter. Typically in a lab setting, access control is provided by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) cards which, paired with readers, provide hands-free access to laboratories. The RFID cards are typically placed in employee identification cards or used as stand-alone cards and they are paired with an individual’s data so when that card is used, in addition to providing access, it also makes a record of that person’s having entered or left a particular area within a lab.
