Rapid Biphasic Pulsing
IntroductionOccasionally you may need to make your potentiostat emit rapid pulses for your experimental work. For example, neuroscientists sometimes use such pulsing for experiments with neurons.

IntroductionOccasionally you may need to make your potentiostat emit rapid pulses for your experimental work. For example, neuroscientists sometimes use such pulsing for experiments with neurons.
What is it? Why do we care?
The individual conductors in the cell cable of the potentiostat are made up of coaxial cables.
Introduction
Cell cables are an integral part of your potentiostat and can have a large effect on full measurement capabilities of the complete system.
IntroductionAll scientific instruments must be calibrated in order to ensure proper function and accurate results, including potentiostats.
IntroductionPotentiostats are often required to work near the limits of their measurement ability.
IntroductionPorous glass frit is often used at the end of a reference electrode or a bridge tube to allow electrical, ionic conductivity between the bulk of the solution and the…
Introduction
Some of the most common technical questions we hear at Gamry have to do with iR compensation --
Where does uncompensated iR come from?
Do I need to use iR compensation with…
IntroductionSome researchers want to be able to apply or measure voltages larger than 12 V.
Purpose of This NoteThis technical note is intended to help you better understand the functionality and specifications of potentiostats.
