WavePico Wireless Electrochemical Workstation
Part Number
AFTP5
This new addition to our WaveNow® electrochemical workstation series lets you enjoy the freedom of controlling your electrochemical experiments wirelessly! This system also offers the lowest current resolution offered by Pine Research (practical range lower current is 40 fA), making the WavePico Wireless your trusted workstation for low current measurements, including for applications like biosensors. The WavePico Wireless electrochemical workstation is a potentiostat/galvanostat that gives you portability and access to remote lab spaces without creating a cabling problem. This is the perfect system for use in a glovebox – simply put the entire instrument into the glovebox along with your electrochemical cell and conduct your air-sensitive voltammetry experiments from any nearby computer. Under the control of our powerful AfterMath® Blue software package, the WavePico Wireless is capable of performing a wide variety of popular DC electroanalytical techniques. Start enjoying the benefits of wireless control and ultra-low current measurements today!

WavePico Wireless Electrochemical Workstation
The WavePico Wireless Electrochemical Workstation is engineered to provide the essential hardware and software features you need at an affordable price. It supports a wide range of DC electroanalytical techniques. It offers current ranges up to ±1.5 mA and practical measurements down to ±40 fA, potential ranges up to ±8 V, wireless communication, waveform filters, and iR compensation. The WavePico Wireless is a capable yet cost-effective workstation, which is ideal for use with stationary electrodes, RDE, and RCE. Due to its wireless capability, it is especially useful for glovebox-based electrochemistry, or other conditions where having a cable between computer and workstation is inconvenient. The impressive low current resolution (practical range ±40 fA to ±1.5 mA) of the WavePico Wireless makes it an excellent workstation for biosensing applications, where signals are often nanoamperes or less!
AfterMath Blue - Data Acquisition, Analysis, and Organization Software
Licenses for our AfterMath® Blue software are included with the purchase of an Electrochemical Workstation. The licenses give you access to all of the DC methods that the WavePico Wireless can perform. Pine Research does not charge extra for various categories of electrochemical techniques. If the instrument is capable of a method, you have access to it (no hidden costs). Here are some unique features of AfterMath Blue:
- Instrument Control. When started, AfterMath automatically detects all compatible instrumentation attached to the computer and provides complete control over each instrument. It can simultaneously control multiple instruments and queue multiple experiments.
- Flexible Plotting. AfterMath offers a powerful "drag-n-drop" feature for quickly copying and moving traces between plots, with precise control over various plot settings.
- Scientific Units. Designed with scientific data in mind, AfterMath properly handles units, metric prefixes, and significant figures.
- Data Archiving. A unique XML-based file format allows multiple related experiments to be stored in a single archive file, simplifying file management.
- Tools and Transforms. Flexible tools allow precise measurement of quantities like peak height and area, with fundamental mathematical operations available on any trace.
The WavePico Wireless Electrochemical Workstation is available as part of a product bundle. A product bundle is a combination of products that are compatible and often sold together for convenience and confidence. Below is a list of product bundles that contain WavePico Wireless Electrochemical Workstation.
