The Constant Current System is a DC power source with a built-in current probe designed for use in electrochemistry experiments, and as such eliminates the need for a separate power supply when performing electroplating and electrolysis experiments in Chemistry. It is capable of delivering 0.6 A at 5VDC Use the Constant Current System to explore Faraday's law and determine Avogadro's Number. Note: It can only be used in conjunction with its own built-in power supply. It cannot be used to measure the current of a circuit using a different power supply.

The EKG Sensor measures electrical signals produced during muscle contractions, and can be used to make standard 3-lead EKG tracings or surface EMG recordings. The EKG Sensor measures electrical signals produced by the heart. It uses three disposable electrodes. An EKG graph is displayed, demonstrating to students the contraction and repolarization of the heart's chambers. A package of 100 disposable electrodes is included with the sensor.

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 Gas Pressure Sensor can be used to monitor pressure changes in a gas. The range is wide enough to perform Boyle's law yet it is sensitive enough to conduct vapor-pressure or pressure-temperature experiments. Biology teachers can use the Gas Pressure Sensor to monitor transpiration or respiration in an enclosed environment.

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.

The Instrumentation Amplifier monitors voltages from 20 mV to 1 V (DC or AC). It has several switch settings to allow you to select the best gain and includes auto-ID functionality for each of the six ranges. Input bandwidth of 10 kHz allows the capture of higher frequency signals. It is typically used to amplify the chart recorder or analog output of any instrument, such as a third-party gas chromatograph.

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.

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.
