Why Chemvue?
Informed UI/UX & Feature Design:
Designed in collaboration with college chemistry professors.
Innovative Technology Integration:
- State-of-the-art data collection.
- Simplified interface setup using probe recognition.
- Export files for student lab reporting via USB, Bluetooth®, or email
Improved Investigation & Analysis:
Envisioned to improve lab efficiencies and student learning.
Our new chemistry application is built with your needs in mind. Measurements begin instantaneously upon pairing sensors to give students immediate digital readouts of the phenomenon they are measuring. The interface allows users to quickly reference and set proper significant figures, and units can be easily converted by a menu drop-down option.
Chemvue has three methods of data input:
- Real-time measurements from sensors
- User-entered data
- Calculations of column data
Analysis calculations allow for extrapolating best fit curves, measuring the area under curves (integration), finding the tangent to curves (differentiation), and determining statistics of selected regions. Communicate your measurements clearly with labels, annotations, and customizable column titles. Apply specific error bars based on either sensor specifications or cross run averages using the graph page setup.
Chemvue is compatible with PASCO’s award-winning line of chemistry sensing equipment.
Students can connect to wired or Bluetooth sensors to:
- Measure ion concentrations in solution
- Determine reaction kinetics by color changes
- Monitor gas pressure concurrently with volume or temperature changes
- Log solution volumes to find acid-base strengths
- Determine solution potentials from their electric potentials
- Track battery capacity following current levels
- Investigate nuclear probabilities measuring rates of decay from unstable isotopes
- And much more

Auto-Configuration
Chemvue recognizes and auto-configures an appropriate page setup based on the device you connect. Did you connect PASCO’s Wireless pH Sensor and Drop Counter? Chemvue recognizes you want to run a titration. Auto-configuration also applies to our Wireless Melting Point Apparatus, Spectrometers, and other sensors will engage a generic data collection setup.
Melting Point Apparatus Module
Confirm the identity and purity of chemical products. Add a small amount of a synthesized chemical to a melting point tube, set up the temperature heating profile curve, and begin recording
a run. Adjust the ramp setting to quickly approach the melting point and use the auxiliary camera to capture the melt process during the last few degrees of the procedure. Students will
appreciate the ability to capture their measurement on camera to guarantee precise data.
Spectrometry Module
This module contains tools for analyzing the absorbance of light of sample solutions. Students can apply the Beer-Lambert Law (Beer’s Law) to determine unknown concentrations of a
substance based on their measured absorption of light. Students can also use the solution spectra to infer the identity of unknown dissolved substances. This module allows users to analyze
peak changes during a reaction to determine the reaction rate, and provide supporting evidence to infer reaction mechanisms.
Data Collection Module
Connect to a PASCO sensor wirelessly or using a USB cable. Chemvue utilizes the newest Bluetooth® technology, and wireless sensors pair through a simple in-app list so no system settings are required. With multiple sensors in most labs, easily connect the correct sensor from a proximity sorted list of sensors (6-digit laser-etched ID number).
Comparing titrations of several acids helps students understand how concentration, strength and polyprotism impact curve shape and location.
Titration graph showing pH vs. Volume as titrant is added to solution.
Immediately choose from dozens of properties based on which instrument is connected: Temperature, pressure, mass, conductivity, light absorption, gas concentrations (O2, CO2, and ethanol), voltage, current, pH, ion selective electrodes, radiation, sound, humidity and atmospheric conditions. The list of possibilities grows as tools are added to the PASCO line! Easily connect to Chemvue and start capturing values to record on your device for further analysis.
Select regions on your graph to compare values, interpolate data, and explore formulas that best describe the relationship between the variables. Use tools like tangent lines to determine reaction rates, and calculate the area under the curve to determine the quantity of reactants.
Easily stretch axes to scale your graph, drag your graph to areas of interest, or select and zoom to magnify data points. In-context tools make it simple to navigate the program, which means that students spend their time learning the science, not the software.
Error Bars
Calibration (from measurement picker)
Calibration can be set easily via the measurement dropdown menu from the digital display, graph axes, or table headings when sensors are connected.
Derive related data Calculator
Use existing collected data points to calculate new meaningful values, manipulate data to show linear relationships, or convert measurement units.
Number Formatter
Choose significant figures, fixed decimal places, or scientific notation to display your data and edit them anytime.
Sampling Options
Choose from a wide range of sampling intervals for data point collection to fit your experimental needs.
Export Options
Promote student collaboration with export options at the click of a button. Chemvue supports the sharing of CSV data and PNG images, allowing students to share, analyze, and write up their labs
on any device with any software. Data can be shared via USB, Bluetooth® wireless sharing, or email.
Dark Mode
Reduce eye fatigue and make your data stand out with Dark Mode; toggle between modes while using the software, and export screenshots with light or dark backgrounds–perfect for presentations.
Data Sharing and Export
When it’s time for students to submit their work, students can easily export an image of their graph, export the data to a CSV file to work in a spreadsheet, or save it in our Chemvue format. Chemvue files can be shared by email, Bluetooth® file share, or USB for convenient lab writeups.
Visual Statistics
Shade portions of your selection to show standard statistics.
Run Color/Symbol Management
Choose the symbol and color of your run data points.
Outlier Management
Remove unwanted data points from your run.
