Teach students chromatography with an affordable, portable gas chromatograph that detects polar and nonpolar compounds. With the easy-to-use Go Direct Mini GC and the free Vernier Instrumental Analysis™ app, students can separate, analyse, and identify substances contained in a volatile liquid or gaseous sample.
Go Direct Mini GC can connect via Bluetooth® wireless technology or wired via USB to your device, providing an opportunity for you to choose the solution best for your laboratory.
Developed with Seacoast Science, Go Direct Mini GC uses an efficient, software-controlled internal pump system. This design allows the Go Direct Mini GC to use room air as the carrier gas, so there is no need to purchase an external carrier gas tank or maintain a gas filtration system.
Easily incorporate gas chromatography into your curriculum using our e-book Chromatography Experiments with the Go Direct Mini GC™ available for free with your purchase.
You can also use this gas chromatograph to identify unknown compounds, monitor chemical reactions, and measure products from a distillation.

Our Hand-Grip Heart Rate Monitor is ideal for determining a person's heart rate while mobile or stationary. With this sensor, heart rate can be monitored during, or after, exercise. The sensor consists of wireless hand grips and a receiver module that plugs into any of our data-collection devices. The hand grips sense the electrical signals generated by the heart. For each pulse detected, a signal is transmitted to the receiver module, and the individual's pulse rate is calculated. Do you need an interface? Why not go for our Heart Rate Human Physiology Kit?

The Conductivity Probe determines the ionic content of an aqueous solution by measuring its conductivity. This has many applications in chemistry, biology, and environmental science. The Conductivity Probe has three ranges, providing optimal precision in any given range. Biology teachers can use this probe to demonstrate diffusion of ions through membranes. Chemistry students are able to quickly investigate the difference between ionic and molecular compounds, strong and weak acids, or ionic compounds that yield different ratios of ions. Environmental science students use it to measure TDS, total dissolved solids.
