Conductivity Probe

This probe is great for environmental testing for salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), or conductivity in water samples.

Conductivity Probe

Biology teachers can use this probe to demonstrate diffusion of ions through membranes or to monitor changes in ion levels in aquatic systems. Chemistry students can use it to investigate the difference between ionic and molecular compounds, strong and weak acids, or ionic compounds that yield different ratios of ions. The Conductivity Probe can monitor concentration or conductivity at three different sensitivity settings. You can perform all of the conductivity experiments in our Biology, Chemistry, Physical Science, Middle School Science, and Water Quality lab manuals with this sensor. You can take readings in units of conductivity (µS/cm) or concentration (mg/L TDS as NaCl). The Conductivity Probe can monitor conductivity at three different sensitivity settings: 0-100 mg/L TDS or 0-200 µS/cm 0-1000 mg/L TDS or 0-2000 µS/cm 0-10000 mg/L TDS or 0-20,000 µS/cm Conductivity is directly proportional to concentration over the entire range. The probe has a fast response time, reaching 98% of full value in less than 5 seconds. You can load saved calibrations using any of the Vernier data-collection programs. Alternatively, you can do a quick two-point calibration: the probe is left out of solution for one calibration point (0 µS/cm) and is placed in a known standard (1000 µS/cm solution is provided) for a second calibration point. More precise calibration in two different standards is also possible using our software. The Conductivity Probe uses alternating current at its electrodes; this prevents polarization and electrolysis, so that solutions being tested are not fouled. Corrosion of metal electrodes is not a problem with this epoxy-body graphite electrode. It has built-in temperature compensation, which allows you to do your calibrations in the lab, and then make measurements outdoors without temperature changes affecting conductivity readings.

  Low-g Accelerometer - This is the best choice for most experiments. Use it for studying the one-dimensional motion of a car (real and toy), elevator, pendulum bob, or amusement park ride.
  25-g Accelerometer - This is great for studying one-dimensional collisions or any motion with larger accelerations
  3-Axis Accelerometer - This is really three low-g accelerometers mounted at right angles and all placed in a small box. Use it for studying the complex motion of an amusement park ride, a bungee jumper, or simply a toss in the air.
  Barometer - Our Barometer can be used for either weather studies or for lab experiments involving pressures close to normal atmospheric pressure. The pressure range is 24 to 32 inches of Hg (0.8 to 1.05 atm) absolute pressure.
  Charge Sensor - The Charge Sensor is used as an electronic electroscope. Unlike a traditional electroscope, the Charge Sensor can make quantitative measurements.
  CO2 Gas Sensor - The CO2 Gas Sensor measures gaseous carbon dioxide levels in the range of 0 to 5000 ppm. This probe is great for measuring changes in CO2 levels during plant photosynthesis and respiration.
  Colorimeter - This 4-wavelength Colorimeter is great for Beer's law experiments, determining the concentration of unknown solutions, or studying changes in concentration vs. time.
  Conductivity Probe - This probe is great for environmental testing for salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), or conductivity in water samples.
  Current Probe - Use the Current Probe to measure currents in low-voltage AC and DC circuits. With a range of ±0.6 A, this system is ideal for use in most "battery and bulb" circuits. Use it with the Differential Voltage Probe to explore Ohm’s law, phase relationships in reactive components, and much more.
  Differential Voltage Probe - Use the Differential Voltage Probe to measure low-voltage AC and DC circuits. With a range of ±6.0 V, this system is ideal for use in most "battery and bulb" circuits.
  Digital Control Unit - The Digital Control Unit (DCU) gives you an easy way to use LabPro, CBL 2™, or original CBL™ digital ports for exciting, do-it-yourself projects. It allows you to provide useful current (up to 600 mA) for controlling electrical devices.
