Product Description
£103.00 ex VAT | £123.60 Inc VAT
Use the High Current Sensor in experiments that involve currents larger than 1 A, such as solar panels, hand generators, and other alternative energy projects.
The High Current Sensor has a range of ±10 A. Current is measured with a Hall Effect sensor, which uses the magnetic field created by the current and therefore does not add a resistive element to the circuit. A metal shield over the Hall Effect chip reduces the influence of external magnets. A replaceable fuse protects the equipment and circuit

The CO2 Gas Sensor measures gaseous carbon dioxide levels in two selectable ranges of 0 to 10,000 ppm and 0 to 100,000 ppm (which covers human breath). Ideal for measuring changes in Carbon Dioxide levels during plant photosynthesis and respiration. You can easily monitor changes in CO2 levels occurring in respiration of organisms as small as crickets or beans! The CO2 Gas Sensor is easily calibrated using a calibration button. A chamber is included for running controlled experiments with small plants and animals. You may also wish to see our O2 Gas Sensor

The Vernier Energy Sensor offers an easy way to quantify voltage, current, power, and energy output of small wind turbines and solar panels such as those used in our KidWind Experiment Kits. Simply connect a source such as a small wind turbine or solar panel to one side and a load such as the Variable Load or a resistor on the Vernier Resistor Board to the other side. The Energy Sensor measures the current and voltage of the system. Data-collection and analysis software, such as Logger Pro or LabQuest App can then calculate the power and energy output.

The Anemometer can be used in a variety of experiments to measure wind speed. Can either be used hand held to measure wind speeds, or used with the accessory rod for static experiments such as in front of wind tunnels. The Vernier Anemometer is an impeller-type anemometer that measures wind speed in the range of 0.5 to 30 m/s (1 to 67 mph).

The Polarimeter can be used to measure chiral properties of optically active samples without chemically modifying or destroying the sample. This is a vertical polarimeter that uses a 589 nm LED, a fixed polarizer, and a manually rotated polarizer to detect changes in rotation of plane-polarized light in the presence of an optically active compound. Used with Vernier technology, students no longer have to determine the optical maximum with their eye but have a graph that shows a clear change in the light's polarization.

Use the Ammonium ISE to measure levels of ammonium ions introduced from fertilizers. It can also indicate aqueous ammonia levels if sample solutions are acidified to convert NH3 to NH4+. The Ammonium ISE has a combination-style, non-refillable, gel-filled electrode. Like all other PVC ISE membranes, the membrane on the ISE has a limited life expectancy. However, the replaceable module of ISE allows you to simply discard the used membrane module, and replace it with a new one. Note: We recommend that you do not purchase ISE replacement modules too far in advance of their expected time of use as degradation occurs while they are stored on the shelf.

Use the Drop Counter to perform accurate, automatic titrations. Record the number of drops or calibrate the drop size to record volume of titrant added during a titration. Logger Pro software can automatically convert the number of drops into volume. The Drop Counter can be used for conductimetric or potentiometric titrations using our Conductivity Probe, Ion-Selective Electrodes or any electrode with a 0 to 5 volt output.
