Cañada College Upgrades Data Acquisition With Laboratory Renovation

June 5, 2008

Redwood City California’s Cañada College has chosen a 12-station MeasureNet Network as the data acquisition interface for its newly-renovated chemistry laboratory. The college will employ an array of probes, including electrochemistry probeware and MeasureNet's multi-function dual-beam colorimeter. Chemistry professors Jeanette Medina and Anuradha Pattanayak said the system’s higher resolution “will enable the use of smaller quantities of chemicals, thereby making experiments safer and cutting down on disposal. In addition, it will give us the ability to design innovative experiments to expand our chemistry curriculum to incorporate UV-VIS spectroscopy, chromatography and HPLC techniques.”

Serving some 6,000 full and part-time students, Cañada College ranks as one of the state's leading community colleges in transfer and completion rates. Its Redwood City location is home to Pixar Animation Studios and Oracle Corporation.

MeasureNet Technology Ltd. manufactures patented, network-based data acquisition interfaces for science teaching laboratories. It is a spin-off of the University of Cincinnati's Department of Chemistry and is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Measurenet's award-winning, PC-reducing design helps reduce laboratory maintenance and operational costs while giving students access to high quality shared UV-vis spectroscopy, gas chromatograph and HPLC connectivity, and an array of innovative probeware. Its acclaimed intuitive design provides improved transparency to enable better science-focused learning. Winner of the Ohio Governor's Award For Excellence in Energy Efficiency, MeasureNet networks are found in universities, community colleges, high schools, and vocational training centers across the United States and around the world.
