"MicroLab's software is an enormous aid for non-major students to visualize data collection in real-time, and leads them to clearly understand the concept of the lab" Dr. Angie Sower Montana State University - Bozeman

"It used to be that students would spend a three-hour lab gathering data. Now, students can focus on what the data means; this enables them to decide quickly whether or not they need to do the experiment over. The discovery process - how the numbers relate to a concept - takes place in the lab, not when the students are writing their lab report." Dr Carolyn MottleyLuther College

"The consistency of being able to graph the data in real-time has enhanced the quality of student data since they can redo the experiment quickly if data is working right. Traditionally, students would not discover incorrect data until they began to write their lab reports. When working under a deadline, this left students with little time to focus on the concepts and the cause-and-effect relationships presented in the lab. MicroLab realizes that the data collection process is just one step in a series of many in the scientific process." Dr. Richard LoganWenatchee Valley College

"We used the colorimeter to study the absorption/transmission properties of different food dyes. The students really took to the graphs produced for transmittance and absorbance...they all said it made the ideas we were talking about really clear to see the two graphs."
