Perform linear sweep voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, open circuit potential, and controlled potential electrolysis, with the powerful Ossila Potentiostat. You can be confident in your measurements with excellent applied potential and current measurement accuracy and a high applied potential and current measurement resolution.
Whether you are an experienced chemist and or a newcomer to the field, the easy-to-use PC software makes it straightforward for anyone to take accurate and precise measurements across a wide potential and current range. Set the relevant parameters then watch the measurement as it happens with live data plotting.
Buy as a standalone instrument to use with any electrochemical cell, or choose the complete kit which includes electrochemical glassware, your choice of non-aqueous Ag/Ag+ or aqueous Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a platinum disc reference electrode, and a platinum wire counter electrode.

Software
Easily perform linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry, open circuit potential, and controlled potential electrolysis. The maximum and minimum potentials can be defined along with the number of cycles, the scan rate, and the current range. Simply set the relevant settings and click 'Start', then watch the measurement as it happens with live data plotting.
Software updates are also provided at no extra charge and are available to download from our website.
As with all of our software, data is saved to .csv files so that you can analyse it with your favourite tool. The settings you define are saved alongside your measurement data so that you always have a record of your experimental parameters. Profiles allow you to save commonly used settings configurations so that you can quickly repeat measurements without re-configuring the potentiostat, further speeding up your research.
