"Centenary has an impressive reputation and is typical of the innovative, learning-centric programs that populate the MeasureNet user community," says MeasureNet president Robert Voorhees.
"We look forward to cooperating with them to support their teaching goals and undergraduate research endeavors." MeasureNet Technology .
manufactures patented, network-based data acquisition interfaces for science teaching laboratories.
It is a spin-off of the University of Cincinnati's Department of Chemistry and is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Measurenet's award-winning, PC-reducing design helps reduce laboratory maintenance and operational costs while giving students access to high quality shared UV-vis spectroscopy, gas chromatograph connectivity, and an array of innovative probeware.
It's acclaimed intuitive design provides improved transparency to enable better science-focused, not technology-focused, learning.
Winner of the Ohio Governor's Award For Excellence in Energy Efficiency, MeasureNet networks are found in universities, community colleges, high schools, and vocational training centers across the United States and around the world.
