Powerful and easy-to-use solutions for life science
PowerLab data acquisition systems (comprising hardware and software) offer versatile data acquisition and analysis solutions for life science research and education applications. The systems are used with
Windows or Macintosh computers to record and analyze physiological signals from human and animal subjects. In one compact unit, PowerLab systems perform the functions of chart recorders,
XYT plotters, digital voltmeters and storage oscilloscopes.
PowerLab Hardware
PowerLab data acquisition units
PowerLab data acquisition units are smart peripheral devices that perform data acquisition, signal conditioning, and pre-processing.
- External signals are acquired through analog inputs and amplified before being digitized
- The signal is multiplexed to an analog-digital converter
- The digitized signal is transmitted to the computer using USB connection
- Software receives, displays, analyzes and records the data and analysis to the computer's hard disk
The PowerLab 30 Series – Recommended for Research
The PowerLab 26 Series – Recommended for Teaching
The PowerLab T Series - Recommended for Teaching
Signal conditioners
Signal conditioners increase the types of data users can acquire by providing additional
signal-specific amplification and filtering options. ADInstruments signal
conditioners are automatically recognized and controlled by the PowerLab
system.
PowerLab Software
LabChart and Scope Software – Ideal for Research
LabChart software and Scope software provide data
display, recording and analysis. The software incorporates easy-to-use control
of PowerLab hardware settings, including signal conditioning and sampling
speeds. LabChart and Scope's powerful analysis features and automation are ideal
for research applications and advanced education courses.
LabTutor Software – Ideal for Education
LabTutor software offers complete life science
experiments including experiment background information, set up protocols,
real-time data acquisition and laboratory reports in one easy-to-follow web
browser interface.

life science researchers, please consult PowerLab Research Applications
and the PowerLab Citations Database, containing over 5000 published
research papers featuring PowerLab systems.
Teaching Applications and Experiments
Educators and ADInstruments staff have developed a wide
range of Education Applications for LabChart Software, including a
collection of Configured LabChart Experiments. Educators can also introduce
PowerLab systems into classrooms using the growing range of LabTutor
Experiments.
