PowerLab Sensors are the next generation of educational hardware, designed with teaching at the forefront.
Built for intensive, repetitive use, PowerLab Sensors have minimal cabling, ergonomic casings, and a straightforward design. Reducing student hesitation and stress by giving them a consistent, easy-to-use system that enables students to focus on the data and not get stuck troubleshooting the tech.
PowerLab Sensors give you the flexibility to teach the way you want, and the tools to bring your lab to life.
PowerLab Sensors
PowerLab Sensor | Description | Number of Lt Labs |
| PowerLab T1 | The PowerLab T1 is the central building block of the most flexible and versatile PowerLab Sensor arrangement. Providing both synchronicity for sensor inputs and a powerful stimulator for research-quality education. | As PowerLab: All Labs As Stimulator: 15 Labs |
| Biopotential | Record ECG/EKG, EMG, EOG, and EEG with the PowerLab Biopotential Sensor. Research quality 40kHz sampling rate, with the durability and ease-of-use needed in the classroom. | 30 Labs |
| Blood Pressure | Demonstrate blood pressure measurements in a lecture, tutorial, or practical class with these sphygmomanometers, each of which is coupled to a pressure transducer. | 6 Labs |
| Cardio Microphone | Accurately converts heart sounds (mechanical vibrations) into electrical signals via an electret (condenser) microphone device. | 2 Labs |
| Finger Pulse | The Finger Pulse Sensor uses a piezo-electric element to convert force applied to the active surface of the transducer into an electrical analog signal. | 16 Labs |
| Goniometer | Our goniometer sensor is a bipolar joint angle sensor for single-degree-of-freedom joints (eg. the knee or elbow) used for a range of medical, anatomical & physiological applications. | 1 Lab |
| Grip Force | A pre-calibrated, ready-to-use strain gauge-based isometric dynamometer with a linear response in the 0-800N range. | 2 Labs |
| Push Button | The Push Button Switch provides a 2.5 V output for triggering, timing, or marker signals. | 1 Lab |
| Respiratory Belt | The Respiratory Belt Sensor is designed to measure changes in chest diameter resulting from breathing. | 6 Labs |
| Skin Temperature | Skin Temperature Sensors are specifically designed for continuous temperature monitoring using the skin as an indicator of body temperature. | 7 Labs |
| Spirometer | The Spirometer Sensor measures airflow and corresponding changes in lung volume. It does this via a pressure sensor that converts the differential pressure across a restriction into an electronic signal. | 11 Labs |
| Tendon Hammer | Tendon hammers can be used to stimulate muscle spindles, which elicit muscle contractions. They also provide triggering, timer, or marker signals. | 3 Labs |
A Next Gen System for the New Generation of Students
PowerLab Sensors provides the high-quality data acquisition of a PowerLab and sensor combo, all in one portable unit. Each sensor is a data acquisition device. Simply plug in the USB and start recording data into Lt or Lt LabStation immediately, from anywhere.
These next-generation sensors give your students immediate access to their own physiological data. Their ergonomic design and consistent form factor make it simple and easy to introduce new sensors, without worrying about excess cabling, software, or troubleshooting. If you've used one PowerLab Sensor, you can confidently use them all.
PowerLab Sensors have been intentionally designed to remove roadblocks to learning, making technology as streamlined and seamless as possible, so that your students can focus on learning.
The new PowerLab Sensor Spirometer has an ergonomic and hardwearing design, minimizing dead-space, enabling use while exercising, and streamlining construction and deconstruction for easy cleaning.
A Complete Teaching Environment
PowerLab Sensors complete the ADInstruments learning environment. With improved stimulation range and power in the PowerLabs T1, and increased signal frequency recording in the PowerLab Sensor Biopotential, the PowerLab sensors are all you need for Lt Human Physiology and Lt Animal Physiology.
Compatible with over 70 labs, mini-labs, and tutorials, PowerLab Sensors provide the greatest flexibility of any educational sensor system. As development of Lt continues, so too will our focus on the PowerLab Sensor system. This educational ecosystem will continue to grow, with new labs, new sensors, and new materials to support your educational needs.
Reach your educational goals
PowerLab Sensors are ready to plug in and record wherever you are. Simply plug the USB into a computer to open up the world of physiological signals. Take PowerLab Sensors into your lectures, school visits, community presentations, and ground theory in reality by showing people their own physiological signals in real time. There is nothing more effective than personalized learning, and nothing more personal than your own body.
In the lab, increase the flexibility of your PowerLab Sensor system with the PowerLab T1; the heart of the lab. This next-generation PowerLab is designed to expand your use of Sensors, synchronizing multiple signals, and providing the most effective electrical stimulation of any educational PowerLab.
Wherever you are, PowerLab Sensors are a USB plug away from turning your home, your classroom, your gym, or garden, or school, into a lab.
