Instruments

  • Autoclaves
  • Conductivity Sensor

    Sensors that measure the electrical conductance per unit distance in an electrolytic or aqueous solution. (Source: Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2023. GCMD Keywords, Version 16.3.

  • Density Meter
  • Oxygen Electrode
  • Photometer

    Photometers are instruments used for measuring the luminance, luminous intensity, or luminance of a light source; similar to a radiometer, but with an output weighted by the wavelength response of the human eye.

  • Redox Electrode
  • Ultrasonic Transducer
  • pH-sensitive Electrode

    Potentiometric electrochemical sensor that measures pH as a linear function of electrode potential. Measurement principles or methods include the use of an ion-selective electrode (see glass pH-sensitive electrode), ion-selective field effect transistor, metal-metal oxide electrodes, or redox electrode (e.g. hydrogen electrode, quinhydrone electrode).
