​​Conducting chemistry practical lessons has traditionally been a pinch point in the high school science curriculum due to the nature of the chemicals and glassware used. However, scientists have long recognised that practical work is the soul of science and advocated for its protection and enhancement in secondary education.

To this end, the Chem-Novus volumetric dispensing equipment product range, comprising the BURETTA, RAPIDO, and METROLO systems, has been developed with the educational sector in mind. The result is equipment designed not simply for laboratory measurement, but for repeated use in the real environment of a secondary-school science laboratory. Their design delivers greater individual student success and more progress per lesson, significantly improving delivery of practical chemistry lessons.

 

The aim is simple: to make accurate volumetric techniques easier for students to learn, easier for teachers to deliver and practical for every student to experience.

In addition to student outcomes, these products go lightly on science budgets; by substituting fragile, traditional glassware with robust alternatives, Chem-Novus equipment significantly reduces spills, leaks, and costly breakages.

 

Secondary science teachers lacking a chemistry-specific background will feel greater confidence in conducting chemistry practicals because there will be fewer student errors and accidents. Many schools have very well-equipped science laboratories and Chem-Novus equipment facilitates the most productive use of such facilities.

 

Further, classroom safety is enhanced by minimising laboratory hazards and maintenance. Their intuitive, ergonomic operation requires minimal training and speeds up both preparation and clean-up work. Ultimately, this lowers the total cost of ownership for schools while maximising student success and engagement during hands-on lab sessions.

 

Tools that are a pleasure to use are few and far between. CHEM-NOVUS instruments are designed to be among them.
