Featured Equipment

PASPORT Quad Temperature Sensor

Allows any combination of our stainless steel, fast response or skin/surface temperature probes for a wide variety of temperature measurement. For use with PASPORT Interfaces.

Energy Transfer - Calorimeter

This unique calorimeter uses a heating resistor instead of a spring coil to heat a small amount of water.

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.
