WavePico Wireless Dummy Cell

Part Number
AB01DUM8

A “dummy cell” is a simple circuit consisting of resistors and/or capacitors that can be used to test the behavior of a potentiostat. Pine Research includes a dummy cell with each potentiostat. A dummy cell is a useful diagnostic tool. When you struggle to acquire the data you expect and suspect an instrument issue, testing the experiment with across a dummy cell helps remove the complications of cell cable, electrodes, and chemistry from the measurement.  This dummy cell is shipped with a WavePico Wireless electrochemical workstation.  It can be used in any WaveNow series electrochemical workstation.

Specifications
A dummy cell is an incredibly useful tool.  At any point you are curious about your electrochemical workstation's performance, or suspect an issue, you should always remove the cell cable and replace it with the dummy cell.  Since the dummy cell is just a simple Randle's circuit, the output from the potentiostat is exactly known.  You can conduct an expeimrent across the dummy cell circuit and observe the resultant data to know if there is an issue with your electrochemical workstation, cell cable, electrodes, or chemistry.  If the dummy cell response is exactly as it should be, it is unlikely there is an issue with the instrument hardware. This is the schematic of the dummy cell circuits:
