It can be challenging to teach hard-to-replicate chemistry concepts in the classroom. Some of these experiments take significant prep time, while others require materials that......
It’s been about a decade since we released the Mini GC Gas Chromatograph and educators have loved it. However, with the original version, only polar......
We’re “stoked” about the addition of fluorescence to the latest version of Spectral Analysis®. It allows students to see the Stokes shift between the absorption and emission spectra.
...Are you looking for professional development using Vernier technology? We offer free hands-on workshops across the country, online training opportunities, and options for personalized professional development. Each option allows you to immediately apply your new learned skills in the laboratory...
It might be difficult for a student to see where absorbance spectroscopy and Beer’s law could be useful to a chemist. But, what if the technique is used to analyze poisoned wine from a crime scene? This definitely piqued the...
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...
A much easier and more reliable method to measure the concentrations of specific ions is to use ion-selective electrodes (ISE). Vernier offers these five options: ammonium, calcium, chloride, nitrate, and potassium. By adhering to a few best practices, students can...
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...
Are you presenting a poster or a talk at an upcoming conference? Plan your schedule to include a visit to the Vernier booth at these upcoming conferences. One of our knowledgeable chemistry staff scientists will be available to introduce new...
