Our free Instrumental Analysis app makes it easy to incorporate instrumentation into your chemistry curriculum. The user-friendly interface walks students through the data-collection process and includes instrument-specific analysis features.
Collect, analyze, and share data from our Go Direct Mini GC™, Go Direct Polarimeter, and Go Direct Cyclic Voltammetry System with this free app for ChromeOS™, iOS, iPadOS™, Android™, Windows®, and macOS®.
Using the app, students can collect a gas chromatogram from the Vernier Mini GC, Mini GC Plus, and Go Direct Mini GC. They can also determine peak area and integrate peaks.
If students have the Go Direct Cyclic Voltammetry System connected, they can easily collect voltammograms to analyze current peaks and determine standard potentials of electrochemical reactions.
Sample experiment downloads, a list of supported instrumentation, and instructional screencasts for our Instrumental Analysis app are available here.
