The VersaStat II potentiostat/galvanostat is a reasonably priced instrument to perform corrosion and basic electrochemistry experiments. The 200 mA maximum current output and 20 V compliance voltage of the VersaStat II provide the power and punch required for many routine applications. The 1 µA current range (full scale) gives the VersaStat II very good sensitivity. With additional gain settings, it can provide nA sensitivity and pA resolution. A floating option (VersaStat II/99) is available for applications involving grounded electrodes and/or autoclaves. A VersaStat II purchased for general every day work today can be upgraded to the higher performance specifications of the 263A potentiostat when the need requires.
Features
- Potentiostat/Galvanostat
- 20 V compliance, 200 mA current output
- Workhorse value, low price
- Upgrade Versastat II to 263A performance specs at any time
- Floating option for grounded electrodes
Applications
The VersaStat II is an excellent, economical potentiostat for the corrosion engineer or the research scientist for every day work for many years. For the corrosion scientiest, the VersaStat II will perform many of the techniques required to evaluate corrosion characteristics of metal samples. The VersaStat II is compatible with all our PowerSUITE® modules, except for PowerSINE® (EIS measurements). So, the basic electrochemist will find techniques such as CV, SWV, DVP, CA, and CE available using the VersaStat II.
