The equations behind the potentiostat
This article explains the working of a potentiostat more in depth, using Faraday’s law and the Nernst equation. For the basics of the potentiostat, please read the potentiost...
MethodSCRIPT in action: introduction, demonstration and Q&A session
As an OEM supplier, PalmSens is aware of how important your own software is. We support our customers with several Software Development Kits (SDK), which make writing your own sof...
Multi-channel potentiostat
Do you want to perform several electrochemical measurements simultaneously? Then you need a multi-channel potentiostat. A multichannel potentiostat allows you to perform multiple experiments at the same time.
Electrochemistry in 25 minutes
In 25 minutes, you can learn what electrochemistry is, get a few example applications and learn how you can build you own electrochemical reader. After an electrochemical wine tas...
Purpose of a Sense lead
Sense leads also known as working sense leads are common for many potentiostat brands. PalmSens uses the Sense lead on all models that can supply 100 mA or more. This raises the qu...
Demonstration of Nitrate Measurements
Plants are using nutrition from soil to grow. If we harvest plants and transport them to a different place, for example, a market, we remove nutrition from the soil. The soil will...
