A cost-effective way for your students to quickly and easily record biosignals directly into Lt via USB when using macOS® or Windows.
Engage students in active learning
Our nine advanced sensors connect directly to Lt through the USB connection on your Windows or macOS® device. Students use Lt Sensors to record and analyze their own physiological signals in real time – collecting authentic data for ECG/EKG, EEG, EMG, EOG, spirometry, respiratory rate, and finger pulse experiments. This active engagement helps students to quickly grasp and understand core physiological concepts in Lt’s Human Physiology Labs.
Powerful and accurate
Lt Sensors are perfect for educators that require new or additional hardware for human physiology courses. Together with our learning platform Lt, these sensors are an integrated data acquisition solution that give students an authentic lab experience, while also allowing flexibility between face-to-face and remote learning.
"Easy to use - no-nonsense. Lt Sensors allow students to focus on learning, rather than hardware set-up."
Dr Mike Gill
Professional Practice Fellow, Physiology, University of Otago

Lt Sensor Range and Kits
Lt Sensors can be purchased individually or in our Beginner and Intermediate Human Physiology Lt Sensor Kits.
Individual Sensors
Within Lt, use the Biopotential Sensor to process a wide variety of biological signals. This product functions as an ECG/EKG, EMG, EOG, and EEG sensor.
The Respiratory Belt Sensor is designed to measure changes in chest diameter resulting from breathing.
Demonstrate blood pressure measurements in a lecture, tutorial, or practical class with these sphygmomanometers, each of which is coupled to a pressure transducer.
Skin Temperature Sensors are specifically designed for continuous temperature monitoring using the skin as an indicator of body temperature.
Accurately converts heart sounds (mechanical vibrations) into electrical signals via an electret (condenser) microphone device.
Tendon hammers can be used to stimulate muscle spindles which elicit muscle contractions. They also provide triggering, timer or marker signals.
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.
A pre-calibrated ready-to-use strain gauge based isometric dynamometer with a linear response in the 0-800N range.
Lt Sensor Kits
The human physiology experiment equipment provided in this kit is suitable for entry-level data acquisition. It contains three sensors, as well as accessories and consumables needed for data acquisition in some of our human physiology labs.
The human physiology experiment equipment provided in this kit is suitable for investigating and recording a wide range of biological signals. It contains eight sensors, as well as accessories and consumables needed for data acquisition across many subject areas in our human physiology labs.
"Lt Sensors allowed me to record and visualize my own recordings with ease"

What is Lt?
Lt is an online learning platform that engages students with real data, inside and outside the lab.
Content
Lt has over 900 interactive and fully-customizable lessons and labs for life sciences, nursing, medicine, and chemistry.
Software
Create, customize, and deliver your own cloud-based, interactive content that students can access anywhere, anytime.
Hardware
Students can record and analyze real physiological signals in Lt using Lt Sensors to reinforce theory through experimentation.
Lt Sensors + Lt Sensor Human Physiology Collection
Lt Sensors are designed to be used with our Lt Sensor Human Physiology Collection, which contains 23 customizable modules. Each editable module contains a combination of background lesson(s), pre-lab prep, and/or lab(s). Our media-rich lessons and labs are designed to maximize engagement, with a strong focus on student learning outcomes. Students are prompted to record their own biological signals directly into Lt using Lt Sensors, making scientific theory engaging, relevant, and real.
Ready-to-go, or customize
Each lesson has been expertly created by our team of instructional designers. You can use our ready-made lessons out of the box, or you can edit lessons to suit your own curriculum and teaching preferences. Lessons can be moved, grouped, and ordered as per your course needs.
