RFID tags are often seen as a replacement for UPC or EAN barcodes, having a number of important advantages over the older barcode technology. This is particulary true in the Biotech and Pharma industry, where the tag has special qualities:
- Unique number for a product, not a lot
- Ability to withstand extreme cold (liquid nitrogen) and high temperatures (up to 200°C)
- Durable identification

In July 2004, the USA Food and Drug Administration issued a ruling that essentially began a final review process that will determine whether hospitals can use RFID systems to identify patients and/or permit relevant hospital staff to access medical records.
"We believe that use of RFID technology is critical to ensuring the long-term safety and integrity of the U.S. drug supply” said an FDA spokesman.
The use of RFID to prevent mixups between sperm and ova in IVF clinics is also being considered. In October 2004, the FDA approved the country's first RFID chips that can be implanted in humans.

In Europe, labs and hospitals are free to use the technology as long as it follows the regulations.
RFID tags can also be used as an anti-counterfeit solution or to trace peripheral equipment like clothes and tools.
