LabTutor software has been developed to be used in conjunction with PowerLab data acquisition hardware and both are designed for laboratory teaching specific experiment files. The range of activities included is:

• Spectrophotometry
• Acid-Base Titration
• Biological Membranes
• Cellular Respiration
• Photosynthesis – CO2 Fixation
• Photosynthesis – O2 Production
• Temperature Effects on Enzyme Performance
• Water Balance
• Human Anatomy & Physiology (a wide-range of activities)
• Animal Physiology (a wide range of activities)
• Pharmacology (a set of related activities)
• Biochemistry (a set of related activities)

Once the software and hardware are connected to the appropriate devices (depending upon the laboratory exercise), students are allowed to control the sampling, storage of experimental data, and data analysis.
