URH-300HP High-Power Reader
The URH-300HP is a high-power handheld reader for rabbits, dogs, primates, sheep, swine, cattle, and other large animals. It reads all UID UC-Series microchips at up to 8", reads through primate cage bars at a reduced distance, and can be paired with an optional extendable antenna for applications where you can't get close to the animal.
- 6–8" read range
- Larger species and primates
- Reads temperature chips
Built for the Scans Where Standard Handhelds Can't Reach
Use the URH-300HP when a large animal or its housing prevents close-range scanning. Its dual-antenna design reads microchips at up to 8". The reader connects to a PC via USB or Bluetooth using the Bluetooth dongle, and types reads directly into the field that has focus in your LIMS or other software of choice.
- Large-animal identification — recommended for rabbits, dogs, primates, sheep, swine, cattle, and other large-animal species.
- Primates through cage bars — reads through cage bars at a reduced distance.
- ID and temperature — reads identification data from all UC-Series microchips and temperature data from the UCT-2112.
- USB or Bluetooth — connects to a PC through USB or optional Bluetooth.
- HID keyboard mode — supports keyboard-style data entry into the connected computer, so no driver install is needed.

Common Questions
-
Why pick the URH-300HP over the URH-2?
Choose the URH-300HP when you need a 6–8" read range for large animals or need to scan primates through cage bars. The URH-2 is a shorter-range handheld intended for mice, rats, hamsters, and rabbits.
-
Does it read UCT-2112 temperature microchips?
Yes. The URH-300HP reads identification and temperature data from the UCT-2112 Temperature Microchip.
-
Can it program microchips?
No. The URH-300HP is a read-only device and does not program microchips.
-
How do reads get into our LIMS?
The reader supports HID keyboard mode and connects to a PC through USB or optional Bluetooth. The UBT-500 Bluetooth Dongle can transfer readings wirelessly to a computer running a LIMS or Excel spreadsheet.
-
Does it support Bluetooth?
Yes, via the UBT-500 Bluetooth Dongle, sold separately. The dongle sends reads wirelessly to your computer.
-
What's the extendable antenna for?
The URH-PLEX connects to the URH-300HP for use around large animals or in hard-to-access areas. It extends from 36" to 63", has a 3" read range from the antenna tip, and includes an LED light ring for read confirmation.
