Rating: 4.3 
Organization: Sahney
Application Area: Analysis of analyte (substrate) and sensor interaction for the development of biosensors
"The system has great features for EIS measurement, user friendly operation and precise measurement which is adding positive impact on my research and its quality."
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.
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.
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.
Below are additional details regarding the capabilities of the Interface 1010E potentiostat. Each bullet point contains a list of the type of techniques available for the potentiostat to run.

"We're really pleased with the 1010E. The wide current range covers all our needs and the available sense lines allow all kinds of complex configurations. The software works nicely and is really clean and structured, but the Echem Analyst could be improved by adding a few more features (we were told that a new version is in the making, though). What we also really like is the excellent galvanic isolation of the unit, removing any ground loop issue in our setup. Service by the distributor C3-Analysentechnik in Germany and Gamry in the background has been stellar. One of the few companies that actually help you with complex experiments and implement new features also after the sale."

I had a fairly unique technique that I wanted to try, so I was originally looking for a potentiostat that was easily modifiable. The experiment files are actually all adjustable with a text editor, so with a little programming experience, it's easy to manipulate the software to perform any type of potential program. The support at Gamry was even willing to program quite a bit of it for me (even after about a year of owning the instrument)!"
