Anbio 100C vs. HealVet 300P: Which Canine Progesterone Machine Is Better?

The Anbio 100C and HealVet 300P are two compact canine progesterone analyzers designed for breeders and reproduction professionals who want the ability to test away from a traditional laboratory.

Both systems provide quantitative canine progesterone results, offer battery-powered portability and use fluorescence-based testing technology.

But they are not identical.

The biggest differences are test time, sample type, sample volume, portability features and the overall testing ecosystem.

Best AdvantageSpeed and straightforward serum workflowFlexibility and mobile connectivity

K9's Anbio source information lists a 10-minute test time, 50 µL sample volume, serum workflow, room-temperature test kits and battery-powered operation.
HealVet's current manufacturer information lists the 300P progesterone assay at 75 µL, serum or plasma, and approximately 15 minutes, with the analyzer using a 5-inch touchscreen, rechargeable battery, USB, 4G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

Anbio 100C

The Fast, Portable Serum Option

The Anbio 100C is designed around a straightforward serum progesterone workflow.

For canine progesterone testing, one of its biggest advantages is speed:

Approximately 10 Minutes

The current canine progesterone setup also uses only about 50 µL of serum and allows the test kits to be stored at room temperature.

That makes Anbio especially attractive to breeders who want a portable machine without adding unnecessary complexity.

Why Choose Anbio 100C?

• Approximately 10-minute progesterone results

• Quantitative testing

• Serum-based workflow

• Approximately 50 µL sample

• Room-temperature test kits

• Battery-powered portability

• Compact design

• Straightforward breeder-focused workflow

The Anbio is particularly appealing if your primary goal is:

Draw blood → separate serum → run progesterone → get your number.

HealVet 300P

The Portable HealVet Platform

The HealVet 300P is HealVet's handheld-style veterinary fluorescence analyzer.

It is also built around portability, but it provides a somewhat more feature-heavy mobile platform.

HealVet currently specifies a 5-inch 720 × 1280 capacitive touchscreen, rechargeable removable battery and support for USB data export, thermal printing, 4G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

For canine progesterone, the 300P uses:

Serum or EDTA plasma

75 µL sample

Approximately 15-minute testing

with a manufacturer-stated progesterone measurement range of 1–30 ng/mL.

Why Choose HealVet 300P?

• Portable handheld-style design

• Rechargeable battery

• Quantitative progesterone results

• Serum or EDTA plasma

• Approximately 15-minute testing

• 5-inch touchscreen

• Wi-Fi

• Bluetooth

• 4G connectivity

• USB data export

• Compatible canine pregnancy-testing option available

Which Machine Is Faster?

Anbio 100C

This is one of the clearest differences.

Anbio 100C

Approximately 10 minutes

HealVet 300P

Approximately 15 minutes

For one test, five minutes may not seem dramatic.

But if you're testing multiple females or waiting on a result before making a breeding decision, faster turnaround becomes useful.

Which Uses Less Sample?

Anbio 100C

The Anbio canine progesterone workflow uses approximately:

50 µL

The HealVet 300P uses:

75 µL

The difference is not enormous, but Anbio does require less sample for its canine progesterone assay based on the current product information.

Serum vs. Plasma

This is one area where HealVet 300P has the advantage.

Anbio 100C

K9's current canine progesterone setup uses:

Serum

HealVet 300P

HealVet specifies:

Serum OR EDTA plasma

for its canine progesterone assay.

For many breeders, this won't matter because serum is already a common and controlled way to perform canine progesterone testing.

But someone specifically wanting plasma capability may prefer the 300P.

Which Is More Portable?

Both are portable.

The Anbio 100C is designed as a battery-powered compact analyzer, and Anbio's broader AF-100C platform is built around portable point-of-care operation.

HealVet 300P is also specifically designed as a handheld veterinary analyzer and includes a rechargeable removable battery. HealVet lists the unit at approximately 240 × 90 × 65 mm and 0.8 kg.

So this one isn't really:

portable vs. non-portable.

It's:

simple portable analyzer vs. more connected portable analyzer.

Connectivity: HealVet 300P Wins

If wireless features matter, the HealVet 300P has the stronger feature set.

HealVet lists:

• Wi-Fi

• Bluetooth

• 4G

• USB export

• Thermal printing support

• System upload capability

for the 300P platform.

For the average breeder testing a few dogs, those features may not change the progesterone result.

For a professional reproduction service or mobile veterinary operation, they may be valuable.

Pregnancy Testing Is Another HealVet Advantage

The HealVet 300P also has a separate compatible canine relaxin pregnancy test available.

That allows the same analyzer platform to be used for more than progesterone when the appropriate HealVet 300P reagent is purchased.

For a reproduction professional wanting one portable analyzer to support multiple reproductive assays, that is worth considering.

Anbio's Biggest Strength: Simple Progesterone Economics

Where Anbio becomes very attractive is the actual progesterone workflow.

Current source material for the Anbio 100C lists:

10-minute results

50 µL serum sample

Room-temperature test kits

and approximately $9 per test at the referenced current kit pricing.

If your primary reason for buying the machine is simply to perform canine progesterone testing, that's a compelling combination.

Which Is Easier for a First-Time Breeder?

We would give the edge to:

Anbio 100C

Not because the HealVet is particularly difficult.

It's because Anbio's progesterone setup is very easy to explain:

Serum → test → approximately 10 minutes → result.

HealVet adds more capabilities and connectivity, but a breeder who doesn't need those features may not benefit from them.

Which Is Better for a Mobile Reproduction Professional?

This one is much closer.

HealVet 300P has advantages for professional mobile use.

The combination of:

rechargeable battery + 5-inch touchscreen + serum/plasma capability + Wi-Fi + Bluetooth + 4G + USB

makes it a very capable portable diagnostic platform.

If you're traveling between breeding facilities or offering mobile reproduction services, those features may matter more than shaving five minutes off the progesterone test.

Which Would We Choose for Progesterone Testing Only?

If the primary goal is simply:

Canine Progesterone Testing

we would lean toward:

Anbio 100C

The reasons are straightforward:

Faster 10-minute testing

Smaller serum sample

Room-temperature kits

Portable battery operation

Simple breeder-focused workflow

Low ongoing test cost

When Would We Choose HealVet 300P Instead?

We'd lean toward the HealVet 300P if the customer specifically wanted:

Serum OR plasma

More wireless connectivity

A larger mobile touchscreen

HealVet's portable ecosystem

Compatible canine pregnancy testing

In that situation, the extra five minutes per progesterone test may not matter.

Our Verdict

These are actually two very competitive portable systems.

Best for straightforward canine progesterone testing:

Anbio 100C

Fast • Simple • Serum • Lower sample volume

Best for mobile versatility:

HealVet 300P

Portable • Connected • Serum/Plasma • Multiple reproductive assays

For a breeder who mainly wants to perform their own progesterone tests, Anbio 100C is probably the more straightforward choice.

For someone building a mobile reproduction service or wanting greater sample and connectivity flexibility, HealVet 300P becomes more interesting.
