The First Optical Drop Counter

optical drop

On its third anniversary, MeasureNet's optical drop counter still sets the industry standard. When compared to more recent competitors, its efficient placement of pH electrode, infrared detector, and temperature probe holder permits the use of smaller beakers. In addition, the infrared counter cell is sealed — making it impervious to splashes of strong acids and bases. The first of its kind for the teaching laboratory, the drop counter is just one of the many innovations that has helped establish MeasureNet as the leader in probeware innovation and quality. Other firsts include an integrated digital balance (2003), and GC connectivity, web-based data storage, and duel-beam colorimeter in (2004).
