Interface 1010T

The Interface 1010T™ is an entry-level potentiostat designed for undergraduate and graduate teaching labs. It provides the capabilities students need for an introduction to physical and analytical electrochemistry, in the same chassis and software as the rest of the Interface 1010 line.

It is the most limited configuration in the line, and deliberately so — the ranges are capped to what a teaching lab needs. As supplied it applies up to ±100 mA rather than ±1 A, up to ±5 V rather than ±12 V, and measures potentiostatic EIS to 20 kHz rather than 2 MHz, driving a single working electrode.

For techniques including:

• Physical Electrochemistry — cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry
• Pulse Voltammetry — differential pulse, normal pulse, Osteryoung square wave and associated stripping techniques
• Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy — potentiostatic EIS to 20 kHz

Upgradeable to an Interface 1010E. The Interface 1010T uses the same hardware as the Interface 1010E — its limits are set in software, not by the electronics. The full 1010E capability can therefore be enabled on an instrument you already own, without replacing it. Talk to us about upgrading.

The Interface 1010T Potentiostat/Galvanostat/ZRA and Starter Pack is designed to help people understand and start making measurements sooner.

The kit includes:

• Interface 1010T Potentiostat/Galvanostat/ZRA
• Five experiments
• Student and Teacher’s manuals (digital)
• Cells and electrodes

Experiments have been chosen to help you learn a variety of techniques from cyclic voltammetry to pulse techniques to corrosion techniques and even electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

Cyclic Voltammetry

• Determine the redox potential and diffusion coefficient of potassium ferricyanide.

Determination of Working Area of an Electrode

• Calculate the electroactive area of the WE. Understand concentration distance profiles. Familiarization with the Cottrell and Anson equations

Comparison of Pulse Techniques

• Compare different pulse techniques. Determine amount of copper in an unknown water sample

Corrosion of Mild Steel at different pHs.

• Determine the corrosion rates for mild steel at different pHs.

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

• Perform EIS on a network of resistors and capacitors. Model EIS data using an equivalent circuit to extra resistor and capacitor values.
