Product Summary
The Wireless Drop Counter has a wider (18 x 13 mm) drop window for better drop detection and easier alignment with burettes. It works equally well with large or small, fast or slow drops.
Measures up to 10 drops per second with drops as small as 0.5 mm.
Teaching Advantage
- IR filter assures accurate counts because room lighting cannot affect results
- Sensor unit can suspend up to three other probes in solution, simplifying many experiments
- Wider drop window (18x13mm) means better drop detection and easier alignment with burettes
What's Included
- 1x Wireless Drop Counter
- 1x Micro Stir Bar
- 1x Drop Dispenser with Stopcock
- 1x Plastic Dispenser Rod Clamp

Visit PASCO's Experiment Library to view all activities for this product.
High School / Chemistry
In this lab, students will complete a titration to determine the amount of chloride ion in water samples.
Advanced Placement / Chemistry
In this lab, students will use a drop counter and pH sensor to titrate monoprotic and polyprotic weak acids. Then they'll determine the relationship between the shapes of the curves and Ka.
Advanced Placement / Chemistry
In this lab, students use an oxidation reduction potential probe to expand their understanding of titrations, carry out a redox titration, and then use the redox titration method to answer a question of their own design.
Advanced Placement / Chemistry
In this lab, students use a drop counter, conductivity sensor, and a temperature sensor to determine the concentration of dissolved ions by titration.
High School / Chemistry
In this lab, students will use a drop counter and pH sensor to determine the concentration of a sodium carbonate solution. Students will learn that chemical reactions can be the sum of several individual reactions.
High School / Chemistry
Students will use a pH sensor and a drop counter to explore the shape of a titration curve produced by a strong acid and a weak acid when titrated by a strong base.
