Featured Equipment

UV-Vis Spectrometer

Highly accurate spectrometer with broad range, ultraviolet through visible light illumination for detailed spectroscopic techniques in chemical structure and concentration determination.

Wireless Colorimeter & Turbidity Sensor

This sensor can function as a turbidimeter or colorimeter and is capable of measuring absorbance and transmittance at six different wavelengths.

Wireless Spectrometer (Vis)

Measures intensity, absorbance, and transmittance across the visible spectrum. Includes fluorescent excitation at 405nm and 500nm.

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.
