Interface 1030B Potentiostat
If you're looking for a general-purpose potentiostat for cyclic voltammetry or similar studies for basic research such as determining redox potentials, reaction mechanisms, diffusion coefficients, rate constants and electrochemical surface area. You can also run electrochemical plating and electrodeposition experiments or experiments for determining concentrations of trace analytes in solution. In addition to the above capabilities you get an introductory software development toolkit that gives you the ability to develop your own program or interface to other instruments.
The Interface 1030 also comes in a more advanced model, the Interface 1030E. The 1030E provides all of the capabilities of the Interface 1030B and also includes electrochemical impedance spectroscopy capabilities.
The Interface 1030B can be upgraded to the more advanced system with an infield upgrade. You can get a great introductory instrument that can grow in capabilities with the needs of your lab. The Interface 1030B can be upgraded to an Interface 1030E. Contact us for more information on upgrading.
