May 10, 2016—Aegis Sciences Corp., a forensic toxicology and health-care sciences laboratory, is employing an RFID-based solution to monitor the status of the blood and urine samples that it receives. Aegis operates four laboratories in Nashville, Tenn., which process samples for more than 2,500 clients daily, testing those samples for the presence of medications, opioids or other substances. Each sample, which must be stored at controlled temperatures, typically moves from one piece of equipment to another for testing purposes before the client receives the results. The labs typically contain 10,000 to 15,000 samples at any given time.
