Pine Research potentiostat/galvanostat systems are capable of performing the electrochemical techniques listed below. In some cases, special considerations must be followed to perform select techniques, such as the WaveDriver 20 bipotentiostat is required to conduct dual-electrode experiments, a compatible UV/Vis spectrometer is required for spectroelectrochemical techniques, and an electrode rotator is required for any rotating expeirment. A licensed version of our AfterMathTM software package is required to perform these techniques. Some of the methods listed below also require a compatible spectrometer or rotating electrode system.
