Chemistry Lab Solutions with MeasureNet

  • No need to upgrade dozens of computers every 3-4 years
  • Energy efficient small foot print workstations use less bench space
  • Reimaging computers & viruses are a thing of the past
  • Secure online student data storage
  • Electronic data collection means more time for more experiments
  • High resolution data collected with quality, research grade chemistry probeware

The MCAN®Laboratory Electronic Data Collection Concept:

The Measurenet MCAN® (Multifunctional Chemical Analysis Network)is state of the art analytical instrumentation that eliminates many of the problems associated with PC-based lab systems. By condensing data acquisition into a single node for each student group, you eliminate the large equipment footprint, costly hardware upgrades, and computer viruses.

Our student workstations interface with many types of probes and other chemistry laboratory apparatus, allowing for a wide range of general chemistry experiments and physical chemistry lab experiments. MeasureNet is found in introductory chemistry labs with a focus on inquiry-based chemistry labs, environmental chemistry, STEM  and biochemistry. All of which are critical in the development of basic chemistry concepts.  The students take measurments, and the results can be stored and monitored on a central computer. Why deal with all the unnecessary head-aches associated with lab management when MeasureNet can do it for you?

A Selection of General Chemistry Lab Experiment Titles Performed With MeasureNet

MeasureNet's design has always offered instructors significant pedagogical flexibility by supporting a wide range of experiment types regardless of whether students work independently or collaboratively. But as Measurenet has expanded from its origins at the University of Cincinnati, its inventory of experiments (and their approaches and styles) has diversified commensurately.

Adopting electronic data acquisition doesn't require, however, the discarding of proven experiments that build student skills or enhance understanding of important concepts. Older experiments can be easily integrated into syllabi combined with those appropriate for MeasureNet. Others needing conversion can be adapted with the help of our curriculum specialists.

The following are examples of titles for POGIL, STEM, Self-Directed, Guided Inquiry, and Verification-style experiments using MeasureNet:
