WaveNow, WaveNano, WaveNowXV Potentiostat/Galvanostat System User Guide

This user guide describes the WaveNow, WaveNowXV Potentiostat Bundles WaveNano, WaveNano Low-Current Bundle and WaveNow^XV WaveNowXV Potentiostat/Galvanostat Basic Bundle Potentiostat/Galvanostat systems.  The target audience for this user guide is a professional scientist or engineer (or student of science and engineering) with a basic knowledge of scientific measurement, data presentation, and electrochemistry.  Practical aspects of making electrochemical measurements using the WaveNow, WaveNano, and WaveNow^XV instruments are discussed.

 

A small portion of this guide is dedicated to the subject of using the AfterMath software package AfterMath Downloads to control the WaveNow, WaveNano, and WaveNow^XV instruments.  This information about AfterMath is limited primarily to the subject of installing the software, connecting to the instrument, and verifying that the system works correctly.  More extensive descriptions of how to use AfterMath software may be found in the Software category of the Pine Research Knowledgebase.

The WaveNow, WaveNano, and WaveNow^XV instruments are not designed for use in experiments involving human subjects and/or the use of electrodes inside or on the surface of the human body.

 

Any use of these instruments other than for their intended purpose is prohibited.

The operator of the WaveNow, WaveNano, or WaveNow^XV should have prior experience working in a chemical laboratory and knowledge of the safety issues associated with working in chemical laboratory.  Electrochemical experiments may involve the use of harmful or corrosive substances, and the operator should wear personal protective equipment while working with these substances.  At a minimum, the operator should wear the following items to avoid contact with harmful or corrosive substances:

 

 

Additional personal protective clothing and equipment may be required depending upon the nature of the chemicals used in an experiment.  A complete discussion of chemical laboratory safety practices is beyond the scope of this user guide, and the reader is directed to a chemical safety bibliography for additional information.
