Science is in demand. According to the National Science Foundation, from the fall of 2000 to the fall of 2010, “growth in first-time full-time graduate student enrollment in science and engineering programs” increased 50%, reaching a new peak. Biomedical engineering appears to be one of the hot spots, experiencing the most rapid growth through the decade. Postdoctoral students logged an equally impressive 45% increase over 2000 enrollments, especially in engineering.
For science students at any level of study, the lab is where the learning is and having a well-equipped lab keeps interest high. Innovative new instruments and enhanced favorites welcome the class of 2016 back to the lab.
Here’s a selection of some of our favorites for the best-in-class lab:
picoSpin™ -45 NMR Benchtop Spectrometer: This NMR spectrometer is 100 times smaller and 10 times less expensive than any previous NMR spectrometer, making it ideal for classroom use. It is a powerful chemical analysis tool with a resolution better than 60 parts-per-billion.
i-LAB Visible Spectrometer with 10-mm Cuvette Sample Adaptor and Chemistry Experiment Suite: This handheld instrument captures spectra and computes results for easy downloading and reporting.
Oakton® pH Tutor Benchtop Meter:For quick checks in the classroom or lab, the pH Tutor provides microprocessor-based technology for fast, accurate readings. The large, dual LCD shows pH measurement and temperature results simultaneously.
