Go Direct® Electrode Amplifier

Go Direct® Electrode Amplifier

Go Direct® Electrode Amplifier

$79.00

The Go Direct Electrode Amplifier is a mV and pH amplifier that connects to Vernier electrodes and compatible third-party BNC electrodes. It connects via Bluetooth® wireless technology or via USB to your device.

ORDER CODE: GDX-EA Categories ,

The Go Direct Electrode Amplifier offers an affordable way to expand your experiment options. Its BNC connector provides the flexibility to attach and remove a Vernier electrode, such as the pH Electrode, Flat pH Electrode, ORP Electrode, ISE electrode, or a third-party electrode. You can explore pH one day and potassium concentrations the next.

Because the Go Direct Electrode Amplifier is compatible with third-party electrodes, students learn consistent calibration and handling techniques on one amplifier using one software program. When electrodes expire or become damaged you need only replace the electrode—lowering your overall equipment costs.

Rechargeable Battery—Ready When You Are

The robust rechargeable battery offers long battery life and provides always-ready operation when using the sensor wirelessly. Monitor battery life directly from our award-winning Vernier Graphical Analysis® app, as well as LabQuest® 3. Should the battery run low, simply connect the sensor to the charging cable and keep on collecting—no interruptions or inconvenience to you or your students.

Wireless or Wired—The Flexibility to Choose

Our Go Direct sensors connect directly to your mobile device, Chromebook™, or computer using our Vernier Graphical Analysis® app—no additional equipment or software purchases are necessary. Go Direct sensors can be used wired via USB or wirelessly via Bluetooth® wireless technology, allowing you to choose the best solution for your classroom or laboratory.
