Reference Library

Our Biomark Research Reference Library consists of articles and publications pertaining to many different species and subject matters that utilize PIT-Tag technology. As we expand our knowledge on a daily basis, we would also like to help our fellow customers and researchers do the same. If you are looking for great publications and articles, look no further.

Technical Papers

We are compiling a list which contains references from research dealing either directly or indirectly with PIT Tags. We hope that this list will provide users or just people interested in PIT-tags with some insight into how the technology has been applied. We will continue to add to the list, so just ask us if we have anything that has not yet been posted. We are also interested in receiving relevant articles, publications, and annual reports (peer-reviewed or not) that are not found here.
