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 two other probes in solution, simplifying many experiments
- Wider drop window (18 x 13 mm) 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

Advanced Placement • College / Chemistry
Students use conductometric titration and gravimetry to determine how much calcium carbonate is in a sample of tap water.
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 use a drop counter, conductivity sensor, and a temperature sensor to determine the concentration of dissolved ions by titration.
Advanced Placement • College / Chemistry
Students use a powdered commercial lemonade formulation as a model for buffers and test its capacity to resist pH changes.
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.
Advanced Placement • College / Chemistry
Students use conductometric titration and particle modeling to study the stoichiometry of acid-base titration.
