Somark Innovations has just announced the success of Biocompatible Chipless RFID1 Ink in cattle and lab rats. It consists of injecting and reading a Biocompatible Chipless RFID Ink “tattoo” within the skin of the animals.

Ramos M. Mays, Chief Scientist, says, “This proves the ability to create a synthetic biometric or fake fingerprint with Biocompatible Chipless RFID Ink and read it through hair.”
