Supported parameters and equipment

A quick overview of the common community science tests we currently support.

We support many common community science tests. If your preferred test is missing, please contact us and tell us what you use.

Our pre-set templates are meant to save setup time. You can always edit parameters and equipment so your volunteers use the form that fits your project.

We will also link each parameter to its standards reference.
