“The minipotentiostat is very easy to use with your own laptop, wherever you are. It was initially intended for in-class demonstrations, but later proved useful for laboratory applications as well, for example, testing the functionality of micro- and nanoelectrodes, and more generally, performing cyclic voltammetry tests on microelectrodes. It works very well, and when placed inside a Faraday cage, even ultramicroelectrodes can be tested easily with very low noise levels (4?6 nA).”
Gamry PAL Plus Cell Cable & Adapter
A compact potentiostat built for portability and utility. Powerful enough to teach voltammetry on screen-printed electrodes, capable enough for lightweight bench work with the cell cable, and small enough to take into the field — a companion to a fully-featured Gamry instrument rather than a replacement for one.
- Eight techniques including CV, linear sweep, differential pulse and square wave voltammetry
- Seven current ranges, 100 nA to 30 mA; ±2.5 V applied, ±3.5 V compliance
- Potentiostatic EIS from 100 mHz to 100 kHz
- 29 mm high — teaches voltammetry on screen-printed electrodes, then goes out on field work
- Runs in Gamry PAL Suite on Windows 10/11 or Android 6 — not Framework or the toolkits
The Gamry PAL is a compact potentiostat made with portability and utility in mind. It’s powerful enough to teach voltammetry in a hands-on classroom with screen-printed electrodes. It’s capable enough for lightweight laboratory testing using the cell cable. You can even take it out with you to run field experiments. The versatility makes it a nice companion to your fully-featured Gamry potentiostat.
The optional cell cable and adapter let you connect to glass cell kits like the Dr. Bob’s Cell kit.
Software is included! The Gamry PAL runs in Gamry Pal Suite. It does not run in Framework or the toolkits.
Note that this is not a research-grade potentiostat. As such, it does not have the frequency range or accuracy that an Interface or Reference potentiostat does.
