PGU 10V-1A-IMP-S

Potentiostat PGU 10V-1A-IMP-S

This potentiostat / galvanostat can be used for standard and impedance measurements. This device has a signal generator for frequencies from 100µH up to 100kHz. A fast measuring module inside allows frequency measurement up to 100kHz as well. The integrated offset adjustment for current and voltage allows efficient amplification of lowest signals down to the lowest frequency range. Due to a specifically approximation procedure very low current signals can be reliable measured at lower fA-range with the result that impedances up to 200GOhms (where applicable even higher) are measurable. Furthermore all available standard methods in our software can be performed with the result that this device is universal.
The retrieved values of the impedance measurement are provided with frequency, real and imaginary part. To analyze the data we recommend Solatrons® software ZView™.

PguTouch

The PguTouch is our latest Potentiostat/Galvanostat in a completely new design. A modern touch display substitutes the previous instruments and manual control elements.

The core of the device is a powerful yet low-power ARM-Cortex microcontroller, the ideal prerequisite for portable battery operation.

PguTouch


A 4-channel 24-bit analog-to-digital converter for data acquisition and a scanner with a 26-bit digital-to-analog converter give the device the characteristics of a high-quality laboratory instrument. The built-in SD card with 2 GB memory allows the storage of a considerable amount of data. The Ethernet interface is used to read out the stored data as well as for convenient operation of the device on a PC with our EcmWin software. This potentiostat/galvanostat can be used as a laboratory measuring station for more complex tasks as well as a field device for predefined measurement routines.

By using a portable computer, more complex methods can be performed in the field.

PguEducation with TFT display

The new PguEducation with TFT display is a further development of our previous training potentiostat for those who want to discover the world of electrochemical measurements and have their first experience with this subject.
Even advanced users can carry out experiments and measurements with this compact device.

PguEducation


By connecting the PguEducation to a computer running our EcmWin software, it behaves like a typical potentiostat. OCP, Constant value, Scan and Pulse measurements are supported. EIS or ECN cannot be realised with this device. The integrated display shows the measured values for current and voltage in addition to the current measuring range.

With a maximum current of 50mA, realistic measurements can be made. In situations where a higher current is required, you can also reduce the sample size to be within the possible current. With 6 ranges, the minimum current range is 1 µA. With a resolution of 24 bits, the PguEducation is a pro device.

With a compliance voltage of +- 10V and a polarisation range of +-5V, the device is predestined for teaching, training and simple research tasks. In addition, it has the full functionality to experience the specifics of electrochemical measurements.

In many contexts, it is very informative to measure the OCP of a system or even just to measure two reference electrodes against each other. You can accomplish this with the PguEducation with no need to connect a computer. After connecting the electrodes, the display shows the relevant value. The OCP is then measured via a high-impedance system. In practice, this measuring arrangement can be set up for any length of time.
Remark: Such measurements should not be carried out with a simple multimeter. The measuring current caused by the low internal resistance of the multimeter polarizes the reference electrode and thus causes a shift in the reference potential.
