COMPACT POTENTIOSTATS-GALVANOSTATS

Potentiostats are one of the devices to show the presence of a particular substance in a solution. The word potentiostat comes from potential. In electronics and electrochemistry, a potential is stored energy or the potential to do work. Applying a potential with a potentiostat to a conducting surface in a conducting solution can induce a particular electrode current which is measured by the potentiostat. The advantage of a potentiostat is that it has complete control over the potential, unlike other power sources.

However, showing that a particular substance is present in a solution may not always be performed in a laboratory. Furthermore, an expensive professional potentiostat is not required when the electrochemical measurements are done only for a particular specific purpose. In such cases, low priced compact potentiostats and portable potentiostats are very useful.

The major advantage of a portable potentiostat is that it is easy to bring along, to measure something on location; for example, when it is intended to measure the amount of lead in the surface water of a well or the amount of iron in blood, or to investigate how rainwater affects the surface of a certain metal. With a portable potentiostat, these can be measured in real without making a laboratory setup.

RotaLab provides a complete range compact and portable potentiostats/galvanostats at very affordable prices for scientific community.
