Abstract:

Effective management of laboratory biosafety plays one of the most important roles in the national biosafety system. Laboratory animals have been widely used in the life science research field, including infection animal experiments, which have to be done in the animal biosafety laboratory (ABSL). The risk assessment and control related to laboratory animals and animal experiments are the most important affairs in ABSL, and the identification and traceability of laboratory animals detected by wireless tracking technology represent a developing tendency in ABSL management. From the perspective of biosafety, this paper summarized the development of laboratory animal identification and traceability technology,and described the application prospect in ABSL management of non-contact identification technology, especially radio frequency identification technology, which can provide reference for relevant practitioners to use the identification and traceability technology of experimental animals for biosafety control.

Key words: Biosafety, Experimental animals, Traceability technology, Identification
