Potentiostat Features


Wide potential and current range potentiostat

Wide Potential and Current Range

To allow for a wide range of material characterisation, the Ossila Potentiostat is capable of outputting potentials of up to 7.5 V and can measure currents over five ranges from ±20 nA to ±200 mA.

Measurements are accurate and precise

Accurate and Precise

With an applied potential accuracy and resolution of ±10 mV and 333 µV respectively, and a current measurement accuracy and resolution at the 20 μA range of ±20 nA and 5 nA, the Ossila Potentiostat is both accurate and precise.

Ossila Potentiostat for different electrochemistry measurements

Range of Electrochemical Measurements

The Ossila Potentiostat is a powerful, low price potentiostat for cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, open circuit potential, and controlled potential electrolysis.

High qaulity and durable potentiostat

Proven Quality

Our experience building measurement devices paired with free Ossila Electrochemistry software, provides an easy-to-use platform for testing and characterising materials. With internal circuitry based on our highly popular source meter and an aluminium outer case, the potentiostat is both reliable and durable.

Our potentiostat fits in any lab setup

Compact and Light

At only 12.5 x 18.5 cm, the small footprint makes it completely lab-proof and glove box friendly (we use it extensively in our own lab to electrochemically characterize our range of materials). Our potentiostat fits easily inside the main chamber of a lab glove box for measuring air or moisture sensitive materials.

Testimonials


We're happy with the Ossila Potentiostat. We're currently using it in teaching labs to demonstrate basics of corrosion measurements. It is compact, easy to use, and affordable.

Branislav Dzurnak, Czech Technical University in Prague

The Ossila Potentiostat is small, portable and easy to use. We also bought the three electrode cell and this provides a stable set-up to hold the electrodes in convenient positions.

Software


The Ossila Potentiostat comes with control and measurement software for performing linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry, open circuit potential, and constant potential electrolysis. Software updates are also provided at no extra charge and are available to download from our website.

The Ossila Electrochemistry Software

Our intuitive potentiostat software enables you to easily perform linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry, open circuit potential, and controlled potential electrolysis. Simply set the relevant settings and click 'Start'. Watch the measurement as it happens with live plotting of data.

As with all of our software, data is saved to comma-separated value (.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.

Software Requirements

Operating System Windows 10 (32-bit or 64-bit)
CPU Dual Core 2.5 GHz
RAM 2 GB
Available Hard Drive Space 120 MB
Monitor Resolution 1280 x 960
Communication USB 2.0

Software Installation

To install the Electrochemistry PC software, download the latest version from our website or insert the supplied USB memory stick into your computer and run the "Ossila-Electrochemistry-Installer-vX-X-X-X" file.

On Windows 10, the necessary drivers are installed automatically when you first connect the Potentiostat to your computer. If you are using an older version of Windows you can find both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers either on the software download page or in the "SMU-Driver" folder on the memory stick.

Please refer to the Potentiostat product manual for more information.
