What is an SDS?
A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) serves the same purpose as a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). They provide a formal and consistent format, in 16 sections, that are organized in a specific order to make them easy for people to understand. ...
Traditionally visual techniques are used to measure the concentration of ions in solution. Concentration is determined by comparing colors of solutions with charts and tables. Vernier ion-selective electrodes (ISEs), offer a much easier and more rel...
Fluorescence spectroscopy is a very sensitive and delicate technique. It often requires a few attempts before getting great data. In our chemistry department, we have come across a few common problems and would like to share some solutions that fix ...
NSTA Recommends recently featured the Go Direct® O2 Gas Sensor. In his review, Martin Horejsi used the wireless sensor to collect data during various investigations, including an out-of-the-classroom experiment on an airplane. He highlighted the ...
Our Go Direct family of sensors, along with Graphical Analysis™ 4, recently won a 2018 Tech Edvocate Award. The family of wireless sensors and its accompanying software were recognized in the Best STEM/STEAM Education App or Tool category.
