MicroLAB Inc. products

The MicroLAB FS-528 Introductory Package is a versatile laboratory setup aimed at facilitating the exploration of various chemistry concepts. It includes the MicroLAB FS-528 Interface featuring integrated FASTspec™ technology for spectrophotometry across the 380-880 nm range. The system supports a pressure range of 0-2 atm and includes a regulated power supply. Additional components in the package include a thermistor, voltage lead, vial packs with stir bars, and a gas pressure syringe. Designed for applications such as spectroscopy, Beer’s Law, calorimetry, gas laws, titrations, and electrochemistry, it provides comprehensive data acquisition capabilities. It supports various sensor inputs through its multi-purpose CAT-5 connectors and maintains compatibility with a broad spectrum of operating systems. Offering both educational and practical laboratory functions, this package is a foundational tool for initiating experiments in a controlled, measurable environment.

The Model 103 Thermistor Temperature Probe by MicroLab is a robust and precise instrument designed for reliable temperature measurements within the typical laboratory range of -10°C to +110°C. Constructed from a durable 1/16-inch diameter stainless steel tube, and featuring a Delrin handle, this industrial-grade sensor is distinguished by its low thermal mass, enabling rapid responsiveness approximately three times faster than standard educational alternatives. Its electrical insulation from the shaft allows the thermistor to be deployed without interference alongside electrochemical sensors like pH, dissolved oxygen, or conductivity sensors. The device applies the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) and adheres to the Steinhart-Hart equation for its temperature response, providing high resolution and low noise measurements. Ideal applications include experiments related to phase changes, heat of reaction studies, and physical property investigations.

The Model 151 Electrochemistry Metals Kit is specifically designed for conducting experiments related to the electrochemical series and the Nernst Equation. This comprehensive kit includes two 5 cm lengths of high purity wire for each of the following elements: copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), aluminum (Al), and silver (Ag). It enables users to perform oxidation-reduction experiments and explore the effects of ion concentration, temperature, and electron transfer on an element's position within the electrochemical series. Sandpaper is included to facilitate the cleaning of metal samples, enhancing their usability across multiple experimental trials. Ideal for educational settings, the kit supports hands-on learning and application of electrochemical principles.
