Supported Instrumentation

The concept of chirality can be difficult for students to visualize. Go Direct® Polarimeter provides a visual representation of this concept by measuring the optical rotation of optical isomers such as sugars, amino acids, and proteins.

Teach students chromatography with an affordable, portable gas chromatograph that detects polar and nonpolar compounds. With the easy-to-use Go Direct Mini GC™, students can separate, analyze, and identify substances contained in a volatile liquid or gaseous sample.

Give your students hands-on experience with electrochemical reactions using this affordable potentiostat, the Go Direct Cyclic Voltammetry System, and disposable screen-printed electrodes.
