We have an RFID tag reader system (ID-20LA) with 6 readers and ~9 inches apart. The readers must be that close because we are trying to track locomotor activity in a mouse home cage with 125 kHz glass capsules implanted in each mouse. We are having a double-edged issue: to minimize interference, we wrapped copper around the sensors. Although this solution mitigated the overlap of sensors, there was a simultaneous decrease in the reader range. How could we find a happy medium here?
Thanks!
