When designing a new instrument, it is important to have a high level of knowledge and creativity to be able to significantly increase performance, as well as a great deal of experience with scientist to be able to offer user friendly operation.

AMEL combined its 40 years of experience in Potentiostat design with the latest electronic technology to produce a Potentiostat-galvanostat that expands the standard measuring limits and simplifies the researcher's task.

With a unique blend of power (up to 45V and 4A) and sensitivity (200 fA maximum resolution) the Model 7050 potentiostat-galvanostat accomplishes the most difficult tasks in electrochemistry today. All of the desired measuring techniques (cyclic voltammetry with current interrupt IR-compensation, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with an optional frequency response analyser) are available at your fingertips. Additional features include two full input range electrometers and temperature probe input, to allow the exploration of internal interfaces, electrode double layers, and thermoelectric potentials.

The instrument has an easy to operate front panel and full computer control through either an RS232 or USB interface. A windows-based software is included for managing multiple runs and complex experimental sequences. Take advantage of these new developments today!
