Potentiostat / galvanostat
DC | 1285 Solartron Analytical

The model 1285 combines Solartron Analytical measurement hardware with highly respected CorrWare for Windows™software. In conjunction with a standard PC, a complete spectrum of DC measurement techniques can be applied with unprecedented ease:

* open circuit
* potentiostatic
* galvanostatic
* potentiodynamic
* galvanodynamic
* cyclic voltammetry
* potential square-wave
* potential scan/hold
* potential stair-step
* galvanic square-wave
* galvanic cycle
* electrochemical noise

Complex experiments can be set up, stored and repeated at the click of a mouse. Using the scanner facility, multiple sequences can be repeated indefinitely without further intervention. Data can be analyzed in a wide variety of display formats, and you can even calculate corrosion rates using automatic Tafel curve fit routines.

Simultaneous current and voltage measurement
Solartron's patented pulse width conversion technique gives the 1285's voltmeters unequalled accuracy, stability and linearity right across the range - perfect for work with low conductivity electrolytes, for example. In addition, unlike many potentiostats, the 1285 has two "5x9" digital voltmeters enabling true simultaneous current and voltage measurements to be made - essential for measuring electrochemical noise.

Floating 2, 3 or 4 terminal measurements
Use 2 terminals for general electrochemistry, 3 for corrosion investigation, or all 4 for measuring single battery cells or ion transport across membranes. Whatever your application, for total floating flexibility - working on buried structures, pipelines, storage tanks or autoclaves, say - there's only one answer: the 1285.
