An RFID reader, roughly speaking, has two parts, the reader electronics and an antenna. Using a properly designed antenna, BioTillion tags can be read with any reader that complies with the ISO/IEC 18000-6 standard. For example, our tags can be read with Austria Micro Systems' Leo and the Impinj Indy R2000 readers. We have used these readers routinely during our R&D efforts. This capability provides Biorepository and Biobank owners the assurance that identification of their samples can survive technological and business circumstances that can change over the years
