Overview
This application note is meant to provide you with several tips and techniques for improving potentiostat stability. Potentiostats can become unstable for several reasons.
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.
