Abstract
The resistance of electronic information stored on cryotags affixed to mock biological materials kept at very low temperatures (–80°C or –196°C) was tested over a period of 18 months. We found excellent performance for reading and re-writing tags maintained in these hostile conditions. Radiofrequency identification (RFID) technology may help solve some of the problems that biobanks face in identifying their biological samples and exchanging related information.
