Featured Equipment
Wireless Colorimeter & Turbidity Sensor
This sensor can function as a turbidimeter or colorimeter and is capable of measuring absorbance and transmittance at six different wavelengths.
Wireless Spectrometer (VIS)
Measure intensity, absorbance, transmittance across the visible spectrum, and fluorescence at 405nm and 500nm.
Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
