Interactive Solutions for Your Biology Lab
PASCO offers dynamic educational solutions for General, AP®, IB®, and Honors Biology courses. Our Wireless Sensors facilitate hands-on engagement and the development of data analysis skills, while our labs provide inquiry-based planning support.
When paired, PASCO technology and lab experiments provide a comprehensive path for the seamless integration of educational technology. Our products make college level experiments accessible and enable students to deeply explore topics such as photosynthesis, cellular respiration, enzyme reactions, human physiology, spectrometry, and more.
Biology Instrumentation: Sensors & Analytical Equipment
PASCO’s line of Wireless Sensors improve the efficiency of experimental setups by allowing students to monitor key measurements on their personal devices. Featuring long-lasting batteries, remote data logging, and real-time data reporting, these durable sensors effectively eliminate the need for continuous monitoring, freeing students from their lab notebooks to focus on the phenomenon at hand.
After the experiment is complete, data can be easily altered and analyzed within our software, exported to Excel, shared with lab members, or printed for physical lab reports. Reduce bench clutter with our space-saving lab essentials or analyze samples directly at the field site with our compact analytical solutions.
