Introduction to PotentiostatsA potentiostat (Figure 1) is an electronic instrument that controls the voltage difference between a Working Electrode and a Reference Electrode.
IntroductionThis Application Note presumes that you have a basic understanding of potentiostat operation.
IntroductionIt's very important for optimum potentiostat performance that the impedance of the Reference Electrode in your cell is low! A high impedance Reference Electrode will cause problems that range from…
IntroductionThis application note describes the software changes that you can make to slow down a Gamry Instruments’ potentiostat. Slowing down the potentiostat can improve its stability.
