POTENTIOSTAT / GALVANOSTAT
The Interface 1010 is a value oriented, general purpose potentiostat for almost all applications except for high current electrochemistry.
The "T(eaching)" version of the Interface 1010 can be purchased flexibly at a low entry level budget for almost all applications in electrochemical research and -industry. Later, if requirements increase, existing electronic components with higher specifications can be activated by means of a paid upgrade.
The latest development in the Reference 600 series - the Reference 620 - features 20-bit analog/digital conversion, gaining about a decade of additional sensitivity. This makes the system the first choice for demanding applications, e.g. in basic research.
The Reference 620 offers eleven current ranges between 60 pA - 600 mA at a maximum of ± 12 V at the working electrode. Two additional gain stages (10x / 100x) extend to an even broader current range of 13 decades, allowing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) on very high ohmic surrogates between 5 MHz and 10 µHz with current resolutions down to 20 aA per bit using state-of-the-art microelectronics and oversampling. Careful selection of electronic components and design result in...

POTENTIOSTAT - MULTI-CHANNEL SYSTEMS
Multi-channel systems are ideal for any application where significance can be increased by higher experimental throughput.
With the multi-channel potentiostat from Gamry, a single system can be flexibly configured from many channels for research purposes with high significance. Flexibility means to operate each channel individually, in groups or all together. Each channel covers either a current range from 100 pA to 1 A (IFC1010) or from 500 nA to 5 A (IFC5000) and can maintain a maximum potential of either ± 12V (IFC1010) or ± 6V (IFC5000) at the working electrode.
The IMX8 (Electrochemical Multiplexer) offers higher experimental throughput by performing automatic sequential measurements. With some limitations compared to multi-channel systems is a cost effective alternative for many applications.
With the IMX8, the throughput of electrochemical experiments in the laboratory can be increased from one channel to a total of eight channels within a reasonable budget. The ECM8 is the ideal additional system for the application field of corrosion inhibitor development, corrosion testing methods and their field tests, assessment of the impedance of coatings and development of chemical sensors.
The Gamry EIS Box 1010 consists of an Interface 1010 base unit and an electrochemical multiplexer optimized for impedance spectroscopy (EIS) on batteries, fuel cells and super capacitors up to ±12 V.
With the EIS Box 1010, the detailed characterization of multiple batteries using the sophisticated method of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is intuitively possible and at the same time offers reliable results at high throughput. This efficiently accelerates tasks in quality assurance, material development and basic research of electrochemical energy storage devices.
SOFTWARE
Gamry has developed its own software for each important application in electrochemistry and offers a very simple and intuitive handling through open source scripting, flexible and uncomplicated, even the customized experiment as well as with other programming languages such as LabView, C++, etc.
In a Gamry system, the electrochemical experiment consists of two separate operations, each in its own software environment. The recording of the measured data is done with modifiable scripts programmed in "Explain" in the Gamry Framework and their evaluation with modifiable Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) scripts in the Echem Analyst.
GAMRY ACCESSORIES FOR ELECTROCHEMISTRY
The successor to the Gamry VISTASHIELD continues to provide effective shielding from environmental electronic noise for demanding measurements at very low current levels and even with large measuring cells.
Like its predecessor, the collapsible Faraday cage offers efficient shielding from electrical interference signals from the laboratory environment (rotary pumps, fluorescent tubes, etc.). The spacious interior allows the accommodation of a wide variety of even larger electrochemical measuring cells such as Gamry's Dr. Bob's cell, voltammetry measuring cells or Gamry's multipurpose corrosion measuring cell. The cage can also accommodate an IMPS/IMVS setup for characterization of dye-sensitized solar cells or cells for spectroelectrochemistry from UV/VIS to NIR or Raman.
The Euro Cell Kit is the entry-level model for electrochemical corrosion measurements on cylindrical specimens
The Euro Cell Kit is designed for electrochemical corrosion measurements in 125 ml - 175 ml electrolyte volume. The components of the Euro Cell Kit have been selected for maximum chemical resistance, but nevertheless do not allow the use in hydrofluoric acid (HF) or in alkaline electrolytes.
With Gamry´s FlexCell Cell Kit the critical pitting temperature is determined while avoiding the effects of crevice corrosion on flat specimens.
With Gamry´s FlexCell the critical pitting temperature on flat specimens can be determined with the flooded contact seal of "Avesta Steel" while avoiding crevice corrosion.
The design of the MultiPort Corrosion Cell Kit allows easy cleaning and a high degree of flexibility for electrochemical corrosion experiments on many sample geometries.
The MultiPort Corrosion Cell Kit is designed for ease of use, reliability and easy cleaning. In addition to electrochemical corrosion experiments at a constant temperature, the optional heating and cooling jacket also allows temperature-dependent investigations for better elucidation of the heterogeneous redox reaction system in an electrolyte volume of 1000 ml.
The ParaCell Kit for galvanic corrosion measurements and electrochemical noise measurements enables the investigation of many flat samples either against a graphite counter electrode or a second working electrode in symmetrical arrangement.
With the ParaCell Kit for Flat Specimen the working and counter electrodes are brought into contact with each other via the electrolyte capacity of 300 ml and identical electrode surface areas. Cell and electrode geometry meets the requirements for measurements of electrochemical noise as well as galvanic corrosion currents using a Zero Resistance Ammeter.
The Paint Test Cell Kit is the smallest and most cost-effective electrochemical measuring cell kit from Gamry.
For the investigation of corrosion processes on coated specimens or bare metal surfaces in masked surface areas, the Paint Test Cell Kit (PTC1) is so cost-effective that many users appreciate Gamry's smallest electrochemical cell with an electrolyte volume of approx. 40 ml also for the parallel investigation of several specimens side by side.
The selection of the correct reference electrode determines the quality for electrochemical measurement results and their lifetime.
High quality electrochemical measurements require a stable reference electrode potential and a low impedance reference electrode junction or frit. In contrast, inaccuracies in potential measurement due to an unstable reference electrode can cause erraneous results whereas a high impedance reference electrode frit in the range of several kΩ causes potentiostat oscillation.
