GHM ARC-300 Cassette Batch Reader #

📦 Batch Read 200 Cassettes in Under 5 Seconds

Time is critical in the lab. The ARC-300 reads up to 200 cassettes simultaneously in just 5 seconds — that's 40 cassettes per second. No more manual scanning one by one. Just load the tray and let the ARC-300 do the rest.

Why it matters: Eliminate hours of manual barcode scanning each week. Your technicians can focus on higher-value tasks while the ARC-300 handles bulk identification instantly.

✅ 99.99% Read Success Rate — Virtually Perfect

With a ≥99.99% read success rate, the ARC-300 sets a new industry standard for reliability. Whether cassettes are slightly worn, poorly printed, or positioned at angles, the system's advanced algorithms capture the information correctly.

Why it matters: No more tedious error checking, manual re-entries, or workflow interruptions. Trust that every cassette is identified correctly the first time.

🔍 Reads Everything — Barcodes, QR Codes & OCR

The ARC-300 supports 1D barcodes, 2D QR codes, and OCR recognition — all in one device. Mixed barcode types in the same batch? No problem. The system automatically detects and decodes each cassette's unique identifier without any manual configuration.

Why it matters: One reader handles all your existing cassettes. No need to standardize your labeling system or replace legacy cassettes.

🖥️ Built-In 14-Inch Screen — No PC Required

Unlike competitive products that require an external computer, the ARC-300 features a built-in 14-inch screen. The embedded system runs independently — just power on and start reading. Results display instantly on-screen.

Why it matters: Save desk space, reduce IT complexity, and eliminate the cost of a dedicated PC. The ARC-300 works right out of the box.

🚀 USB 3.0 Hi-Speed Data Transfer

Connect to your LIS (Laboratory Information System) via USB 3.0 Hi-Speed interface, supporting both USB-CDC and USB-HID protocols. Batch data transfers in milliseconds.

Why it matters: Seamless integration with your existing workflow. No proprietary software lock-in — just clean, fast data export to your LIS or tracking system.

📐 Massive 210mm × 190mm Recognition Field of View

The ARC-300's 210mm × 190mm field of view captures an entire batch of 200 cassettes in a single pass. Position the tray once — the system does the rest automatically.

Why it matters: No repositioning, no multiple scans, no manual alignment. True batch processing with minimal operator intervention.

🌍 Built for Any Lab Environment

Operating temperature range: 0°C to +50°C. Humidity tolerance: ≤90%. The ARC-300 is engineered to perform reliably in real-world lab conditions — whether it's a freezing grossing room or a warm, humid storage area.

Why it matters: Consistent performance regardless of environmental fluctuations. No warm-up delays, no sensitivity to lab conditions.

🧳 Compact Footprint — Fits Anywhere

Dimensions: 383mm × 341mm × 639mm (W×D×H). Weight: 21kg. The ARC-300 occupies minimal benchtop space while handling 200 cassettes per batch.

Why it matters: Perfect for crowded pathology labs, grossing stations, and accessioning areas where every inch of counter space counts.

🔌 Global Power Compatibility

Runs on 100–240V, 50/60Hz — compatible with any electrical system worldwide. No transformer needed, no voltage converters.

Why it matters: Deploy globally with zero power compatibility issues. The same unit works in North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.

📊 Compare Models: ARC-300 vs. ARS-300

Which one is right for you?

• Choose ARC-300 if you process large batches of cassettes daily (eg, high-throughput histology labs, reference labs, biobanks)

• Choose ARS-300 if you need fast, occasional single-cassette reading (eg, small labs, grossing stations, accessioning desks)

💡 Perfect For

✅ Histology labs — Batch accessioning of tissue cassettes before processing
✅ Biobanks — Inventory tracking of stored cassettes and blocks
✅ Reference laboratories — High-volume specimen intake and tracking
✅ Grossing stations — Rapid identification of cassettes during specimen grossing
✅ Research institutions — Sample management and cataloging
