Title: Hitachi/MDS Nordion µ-Chip White Paper
File Format: PDF
Date: March 2008
Abstract: MDS Nordion, a leading provider of gamma sterilization isotope and equipment, has been investigating the effects of gamma energy against radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. MDS Nordion and Brisbane, California-based Hitachi America, Ltd. conducted controlled experiments to determine if Hitachi's µ-chip RFID technology is adversely affected by gamma energy exposure and to what levels of exposure the basic µ-chip inlets (IC chip attached to its external antenna in an unprotected, unruggedized "bare" condition) could typically endure before readability performance is compromised. The test results proved µ-chip is gamma resistant up to, and likely beyond, 500 kilogray (kGy) of gamma energy.
