iWorx, which produces hardware and software tools for physiology teaching and research, has introduced LabsByDesign, a set of lab experiments for instructors. The new service provides 150 lab experiments in cardiovascular, respiratory, and neuromuscular physiology through a Web-based selection guide.

An automated LabsByDesign configurator tailors the necessary components and courseware required to teach the labs.

The company said in a statement that this approach allows instructors to acquire only the equipment they need to fulfill their lab curriculum without having to purchase standard pre-packaged lab systems that contain equipment they don't need.
