The 2461-EC Graphical Potentiostat brings speed,
flexibility, and simplicity right to your fingertips. Its
innovative graphical user interface (GUI) and advanced,
capacitive touchscreen technology allow intuitive usage
and minimize the learning curve to enable researchers,
scientists, and students to learn faster, work smarter,
and invent easier. The 2461-EC is a versatile instrument,
particularly well-suited for research and development in
fundamental electrochemical lab research, characterizing
the next generation of materials and electrolytes, new
energy storage devices, and faster, smaller sensors.
• Wide coverage up to 105 V, 7 A DC/7 A pulse,
100 W max.
• Front panel input banana jacks; rear panel input mass
termination screw connections
• Context-sensitive help function minimizes learning
• Front-panel USB 2.0 memory I/O port for transferring
data, test scripts, or test configurations
While potentiostats are excellent instruments for
electrochemistry applications, they typically lack any front
panel display and control knobs, often are 2-quadrant
systems only, and must be completely controlled by a
computer with software that is not always open for users
to customize tests beyond what the software can do.
The 2461-EC includes a wide range of voltages and
currents for sourcing or measuring, µV/pA sensitivities,
and high impedance sense leads with a typical input
resistance of 50G ohms and only 1pA of input bias
current, typically acceptable with a wide variety of
reference electrodes. The 2461-EC can run internal
application test scripts so electrochemistry measurements
can be run without the use of an external computer.
Results are immediately displayed right on the instrument
front panel touchscreen. Connecting the 2461-EC to
a 2-, 3-, or 4-electrode cell is simple with the included
translation cable.
