Abstract
A method is provided for associating an RFID tag to an RFID reader antenna in a laboratory device with a number N RFID reader antennae, the method including the steps of reading a unique identifier corresponding to each of a number M of RFID tag(s); registering received signal strength indications by each of the N RFID reader antennae of corresponding response signals from each RFID tag(s) and associating each RFID tag with the reader antenna having received the strongest received signal strength indication corresponding to the RFID tag. A laboratory device is also provided which is configured to perform the disclosed method.
