Interface 1010E Potentiostat

If you're looking for a full-featured potentiostat capable of performing all techniques, including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, for applications such as physical electrochemistry, electrochemical corrosion, battery testing, fuel cell testing, dye solar cell testing, and sensor development, then the Interface 1010E is the right potentiostat for you.

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

Gamry provides Accuracy Contour Plots for every one of our potentisotats that is EIS-capable.  The accuracy contour plot provides a detailed look at the performance you can expect from your potentiostat in real-world situations. The results include the cell cable.  Accuracy contour plots are important because they let you compare the performance of potentiostats from different manufacturers to ensure you are getting the best possible measurement. 

 

Flexible Configurations

The Interface 1010E potentiostat can be configured as a single-channel potentiostat, bipotentiostat, or multichannel-potentiostat.  Gamry provides you with the flexibility you need to get more done.

The techniques it can run

Physical Electrochemistry
Cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry, and derivatives of these techniques.
Pulse Voltammetry
Pulse voltammetry, square wave voltammetry, and associated stripping techniques such as anodic stripping voltammetry.
DC Corrosion
Standard DC corrosion tests — polarization resistance, potentiodynamic, cyclic polarization, and galvanic corrosion, among others.
Electrochemical Energy
Single cells and stacks of batteries, fuel cells, or supercapacitors: charge, discharge, cyclic charge-discharge, potentiostatic, galvanostatic, self-discharge, and leakage rate.
Electrochemical Frequency Modulation
Non-destructive corrosion-rate measurement without prior knowledge of the Tafel constants — it also determines them and gives two internal validity checks.
Critical Pitting Temperature
Controls the potentiostat, TDC5 Temperature Controller, and accessories to automatically measure the critical pitting temperature of a material.
Electrochemical Noise
A more general form of electrochemical noise testing; also an ECM8 Multiplexer-compatible noise software package.
