BEAVERTON, Oregon — Connected by a shared commitment to practical science education and customer service, Vernier Science Education is partnering with MicroLAB to help its customers as MicroLAB leaders approach retirement. As part of this transition, Vernier is adding three MicroLAB accessories to its line of chemicals that enhance the laboratory experience for high school and college-level educators and students. These products, which can be used in conjunction with Vernier Go Direct® sensors, include the Precision Volume Dispenser, Electrochemistry Half Cell Plateand Electrochemical Metals Kit.
“I look forward to passing the baton to my valued colleagues at Vernier Science Education as I approach retirement,” said Dr. John Amend, President of MicroLAB. “Vernier Science Education shares our educational philosophy and is known for its excellent customer service. “I have the utmost confidence that their team will continue to support educators with these products.”
“Dr. Amend has been a leader and advocate in the undergraduate chemistry education space and is highly respected for his innovation and educator-centered business practices,” added Jill Hedrick, CEO of Vernier Science Education. “We feel honored that you have chosen Vernier Science Education to continue making these excellent products available to the many educators who use them.”
The Precision Volume Dispenser offers students and educators a highly accurate, rugged and easy-to-use alternative to a burette. Can be used with the Go Direct Drop Counter, Go Direct pH Sensor, Go Direct Conductivity Probe, and Go Direct Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) Sensor to perform a series of acid-base, conductance, or titrations. potentiometric.
The Electrochemistry Half-Cell Plate offers a convenient, reusable system for performing stable electrochemistry half-cell experiments with metals and the Go direct voltage probe. Its inclusive, pre-measured design, which uses approximately one-tenth the volume of ionic solutions as traditional experiments, improves measurement accuracy and consistency while simplifying setup and cleanup for students and educators. Its unique salt bridge produces stable measurements (±1 mV) for 30 minutes. By significantly reducing the need for single-use materials, the Electrochemistry Half-Cell Plate helps create a more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly laboratory experience without compromising accuracy or educational value.
The Electrochemistry Metals Kit provides a practical and convenient way to study the basic principles of electrochemistry. With 2-inch lengths of pre-cut copper, nickel, iron, lead, zinc, aluminum, and silver wire, students and educators can easily explore oxidation, reduction, electrochemical series, and Nernst variables that affect electrochemical reactions. The kit's reusable design supports sustainable laboratory practices while ensuring consistent and accurate results when combined with the Go Direct voltage probe or Go Direct constant current system.
“When used with the Go Direct Voltage Probe, the Electrochemistry Half-Cell Plate and Electrochemistry Metals Kit provide a more accurate, sustainable, and easy-to-use way to explore electrochemical reactions,” said Melissa Hill, PhD, director. Vernier Science Education Chemistry. “By simplifying experiment setup and improving measurement accuracy, educators can provide students with hands-on, impactful learning experiences that are efficient and environmentally friendly.”
