Read an animal's microchip and see temperature directly on the reader screen. This temperature microchip reader combines LF animal identification support with temperature display from a compatible temperature-sensing microchip. Its handheld form, rechargeable battery and OLED screen put the reading in the operator's hand, while USB and Bluetooth provide connection choices for a host system.
As a DO RFID reader manufacturer, we offer this Animal Tracking Series reader for veterinary care, pet identification, and livestock and wildlife management. It brings animal identification and compatible microchip temperature reading into one device, with a minimum order of one unit.
Temperature from the microchip, visible on the reader
The compatible temperature-sensing microchip supplies the temperature data. The reader retrieves that data by RFID and displays the temperature on its 128 × 64 OLED screen. For an animal care team choosing a reader specifically for temperature, this means the operator can see the result at the animal rather than needing to view it through a host connection.
Temperature capability depends on the sensing microchip. The reader's animal identification support covers the formats listed below; that identification coverage does not make every supported microchip a temperature-sensing chip. Choose this reader when your work calls for animal ID reading together with on-screen temperature from compatible sensing microchips.
Animal identification compatibility
The reader operates at 125 kHz and 134.2 kHz. Its supported transponder formats matter alongside frequency when selecting a reader for the animal tags or microchips already in use. The standards, formats and chip/tag types below describe separate parts of that compatibility, so you can compare the reader with your current identification setup.

Handheld reading with wired or wireless connection
The rechargeable battery supports handheld use, and the built-in display keeps the temperature result visible on the device. This combination suits reading tasks that take the operator to the animal.
For a wired connection to a host, use the USB Virtual COM Port. Bluetooth provides the wireless Virtual COM Port option where a cable would be inconvenient. Both use a COM-port interface, making that interface an important consideration for integration with your host software.
Start with one reader or discuss your project quantity
The one-unit minimum lets you begin with a single reader for your intended application before planning a larger order. Share your animal care or identification application and approximate quantity to start a product inquiry.
Frequently asked questions
How close does the reader need to be to the microchip?
It is intended for close-range reading. The usable distance varies with the microchip or tag size and the reading setup.
Is 0°C to 50°C the temperature measurement range?
No. This specification describes the reader's operating environment. The temperature data displayed by the reader comes from the compatible temperature-sensing microchip.
