The MicroLab Advantage

MicroLab's 500-series instruments integrate FASTspec™ technology and the most commonly used chemical sensors into an affordable lab package that enables students to make almost every instrumental measurement required in general chemistry. The instruments' high-grade resolution coupled with powerful software will engage your students in the process of science.

Integrated sensors and sensor amplifiers prevent clutter from your bench tops, reduce cost, and allow for low-noise, high-resolution measurements. Small changes in chemical and biological systems are made evident as never before.

MicroLab products are used in general, analytical, physical, and biochemistry laboratory courses. They are also suitable for your undergraduate or graduate research programs, and in industry. The interfaces' dual AC / DC power supply permits use in the field as well as the laboratory.
