Featured Equipment

Photosynthesis Tank

Photosynthesis Tank

Designed to work with PASCO sensors, the Photosynthesis Tank is an ideal apparatus for studying photosynthesis and respiration in aquatic life.

Optical Dissolved Oxygen

PASPORT Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

This sensor measures dissolved oxygen in mg/L or percent saturation, without requiring calibration or warm up time.

Fast Response Temperature Probe

PASPORT Fast Response Temperature Probe (3 Pack)

Allows students to see instant changes in temperature in sensitive and fast-changing conditions. For use with temperature sensors and interface using 3.5-mm connectors.

Support

Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
