1Preface

1.1Scope

This user guide describes the WaveNow, WaveNowXV Potentiostat Bundles WaveNano, Classic WaveNano Potentiostat and WaveNowXV 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 WaveNowXV 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 WaveNowXV 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.

1.5Harmful or Corrosive Substances

The operator of the WaveNow, WaveNano, or WaveNowXV 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:
 
  • Eye protection (safety goggles, face shield, etc.)
  • Laboratory coat (flame resistant and solvent resistant)
  • Solvent-resistant gloves
  • Closed-toe shoes
 
 
L’opérateur du WaveNow, WaveNano, ou WaveNowXV doit avoir une expérience préalable de travail dans un laboratoire de chimie et la connaissance des mesures de sécurité associées aux travaux dans un laboratoire de chimie. Les expériences en électrochimie peuvent impliquer l'utilisation de substances nocives ou corrosives, et l'opérateur doit porter des équipements de protection individuelle lorsqu'il travaille avec ces substances. Au minimum, l'opérateur doit porter les articles suivants pour éviter le contact avec les substances nocives ou corrosives:
 
  • Protection des yeux (lunettes de sécurité, masque de protection facial, ect.)
  • Blouse de laboratoire (résistante au feu et résistante aux solvants)
  • Gants de protection résistants aux solvants
  • Chaussures fermées
 
Des vêtements et équipements de protection individuelle supplémentaires peuvent être requis en fonction de la nature des produits chimiques utilisés dans une expérience. Une discussion complète des pratiques de sécurité de laboratoire chimique est au-delà de la portée de ce guide de l'utilisateur, et le lecteur est dirigé vers une bibliographie de sécurité chimique pour des informations supplémentaires.
