Next generation of scientists use Collect XL to automate data collection at Southwest Missouri State University.

Southwest Missouri State University and Labtronics are pleased to announce a co-operative program that will have more than 200 students per year using Collect XL to automate data collection for their lab experiments Richard Biagioni, who teaches the freshman General Chemistry laboratory course at the university, has his students conduct kinetics experiments that involve collecting data from spectrophotometers at regular intervals over an extended period of time

He found that he was having to adjust his experiments because students were having to spend so much of their time manually transcribing data into spreadsheets.

That data entry time was taking away from the time that the students had to focus on analyzing and understanding the data.

Using Collect XL, the data is now automatically collected at regularly timed intervals and sent directly into Excel, where it is graphed in real time.

Now the students can monitor their results and get immediate feedback on the quality of the data they are generating, rather than having to wait until they transcribe the data at the end of the experiment.

Eliminating the time required to manually enter results also means that they can collect more data points without having to worry about the time that they need to transcribe the data.

Labtronics is pleased to have an opportunity to contribute to the development of the next generation of scientists through our participation in this program.
