Gamry Instruments Newsletter
March 2008
Gamry's first Newsletter of 2008 marks an important occasion.  Our Dr. Bob Rodgers will retire in the very near future.  Many of us have
benefited from Dr. Bob's wisdom and experience over his many, many, many years in the field.  His impact on R&D and Technical Support will be missed.  Luckily, his creativity, flare, and marketing genius will live on through the Dr. Bob's Cell.

Gamry welcomes Jacob Ketter, Ph.D to our staff.  Jacob is an ace electrochemist and there is a good chance that many of you will interact with Jacob in the future.

RDE710 Rotator is Now Available
Cell Cable Check... is the Cable the Problem?
Register Now for the
Corrosion Short Course!
Nick and Jerry

Some of us are born into the study of corrosion...others have the study of corrosion thrust upon us.  Do you need a forum to learn and practice LPR, Tafel, EIS, and Electrochemical Noise measurements in one place and in one week?

We recommend the Short Course on Corrosion: Fundamentals and Experimental Methods that's held at Pennsylvania State University on June 1-6, 2008. 

The faculty for the Short Course is from both Penn State and Ohio State, two of the finest engineering schools in the US, so you can't find better instructors anywhere else on the planet.

This course has both a lecture and hands-on lab to bring you up to speed on the different electrochemical techniques available to the corrosion scientist.  This will be the 12th year of this course.  It is only taught once a year and space is limited, so apply now!
Version 5.5 Released! Sequence Wizard!
300 dpi User SequenceVersion 5.50 of the Gamry Framework is now available for free download from the Gamry website.  Version 5.50 includes the new Gamry Sequence Wizard.

The Gamry Sequence Wizard is a new intuitive interface for customizing your testing procedures. Drag-and-drop flexibility combines with variable-defining functionality to create tailored experimental sequences.

RDE710 Rotator is now available!
RDE710_40percentGamry is pleased to introduce the RDE710 Rotator as the newest member of our family of electrochemical measurement instrumentation.

The RDE710 interfaces with any existing Gamry Potentiostat or BiPotentiostat.  With either the PHE200 Physical Electrochemistry or PV220 Pulse Voltammetry software, the rotation rate is controlled with the software.

With the appropriate shaft and electrodes, the RDE710 can employ Rotating Cylinder, Rotating Disk, and Rotating Ring-Disk Electrodes.  Any scientist studying mass-transport (fuel cells, corrosion, physical electrochemists) can get valuable information using the RDE710 and a Gamry Potentiostat.

PCI4 Cell Cable Connector
The Potentiostat's cell cable is under appreciated...unless it breaks.  The cell cable is an integral part of your system, as it is literally the interface between your cell and our Potentiostat.  Of all the parts of the Gamry system, the cell cable is the one that is constantly being flexed and exposed to the environment. 

If a check of the integrity of the cable identifies a problem, it will be time well spent.  Identifying a faulty cell cable can prempt a Potentiostat from coming back to us for repair.  This presents the rare opportunity to save both time and money...especially for our international users.

Follow this link for details on symptoms of a cell cable failure as well as a step-by-step diagnostic cell cable test that can be performed in your lab.  Make sure the Potentiostat's signal gets to the cell and the cell's response makes it back to the Potentiostat.
