PASCO Wireless Colorimeter & Turbidity Sensor

Item #: TC1657 

Price: $165.00

In Stock.

The Wireless Colorimeter & Turbidity Sensor simultaneously measures the absorbance and transmittance of six different wavelengths. The sensor can be used to study Beer's Law (absorbance vs. concentration), enzyme activity, photosynthesis, and the rates of chemical reactions (absorbance vs. time). After a simple calibration, students can quickly begin viewing live measurements as they materialize across the visible spectrum at 650 nm (red), 600 nm (orange), 570 nm (yellow), 550 nm (green), 500 nm (blue), and 450 nm (violet).

Product Details

The Wireless Colorimeter & Turbidity Sensor simultaneously measures the absorbance and transmittance of six different wavelengths. The sensor can be used to study Beer's Law (absorbance vs. concentration), enzyme activity, photosynthesis, and the rates of chemical reactions (absorbance vs. time). After a simple calibration, students can quickly begin viewing live measurements as they materialize across the visible spectrum at 650 nm (red), 600 nm (orange), 570 nm (yellow), 550 nm (green), 500 nm (blue), and 450 nm (violet).

This sensor also functions as a high-quality turbidimeter for water quality analysis. Rather than simply measuring transmitted light, the Wireless Colorimeter and Turbidity Sensor measures light scattered at a 90 degree angle from the sample, resulting in accurate and repeatable measurements.

Features
- Stabilized light source for consistent readings
- Measures six different wavelengths simultaneously
- PASCO software displays the absorbance & transmittance at each wavelength in the appropriate color
- Quick and easy calibration
- Functions as both a colorimeter and turbidimeter
- Wireless design enables data collection in the field

1 Minimum # of data points with all measurements enabled, actual results depend on enabled measurements.

2 Continuous use in a connected state until battery failure, actual results will depend on sample rate, active measurements, and battery condition.

3 Logging until battery failure, actual results will depend on sample rate, active measurements, and battery condition.

* Normal classroom use is the sensor in active use for 20min/lab for 120 lab periods/yr.
