Electrochemists, recommend me a potentiostat.
« on: May 13, 2013, 10:23:16 AM »
Hi all. I'm setting up my first academic lab in the fall (woo!) and my biggest individual purchase is going to be a potentiostat. I've worked with a CH Instruments machine in the past, and was reasonably satisfied with the capabilities of that instrument but unimpressed with the buggy software.

It seems like the going rate for an instrument capable of high-frequency stuff (EIS, or alternating current voltammetry) is just south of $10k. I am trying very hard to find something that is under $7.5k, and I would prefer in the neighborhood of $5k. There was a good sale from Gamry at the end of last year that I just missed. :(

Anyway, electrochemists! What do you use in your lab, how much was it, and do you like it?

Hi I think Gamry potantiostat is good. Its software is useful.I used two years ago. I made my experiment by using ths machine. I can recommend.

Dear all respected expert/collegues,

I'm setting out a photoelectrochemical cell. I'm facing problem to regulate temperature in my photoreactor durng reaction.

Can i just dip the photoreactor inside a big water jacket?
But i wondering incoming light supplied by my arc lamp become no collimated after it pass through so many obstacle (wall of water jacket (flat window made by quartz) and also the flowing water that circulating by chiller).

P/s advice me on this :-)

Thanks for your fruitful input

Jeff
