Oregon State Joins MeasureNet Community
July 18, 2005
Oregon State’s Department of Chemistry has selected MeasureNet Technology to supply five 12-station MeasureNet Networks to equip its General Chemistry laboratories for science majors. The systems will each include a shared UV-vis spectrometer and numerous probes including new multi-function colorimeters. The department’s General Chemistry Program hosts from 700 to 1,000 science majors in typical fall and winter quarters.
Oregon State instructor Margaret Haak directed the department’s selection process. “MeasureNet was more intuitive and we had the sense that we could do much more with MeasureNet than the Vernier System or our former Labworks interfaces,” said Haak. “But, the enthusiasm of MeasureNet personnel and their belief in the quality and integrity of their system were the most significant factors in our decision.”
Located in Corvallis Oregon, the university granted its first degrees in 1870. Its unique science resources include the Linus Pauling Institute, the Center for Gene Research and Biotechnology, the Hatfield Marine Science Center, and the Hinsdale Wave Research Program. The school is one of only six universities nationally to have a combined land, sea, and space grant designation.
