Potentiostats 2450-EC0 pages

The 2450-EC Electrochemistry Lab
System is Keithley’s low cost alternative
to traditional electrochemistry potentiostats. The 2450-EC 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 2450-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.

potentiostats

The Keithley 2450-EC Electrochemistry Lab System:
A Low Cost Alternative to the Potentiostat

•t Perform Cyclic, Squarewave,
or Galvanic Voltammetry,
Chronoamperometry, and
Chronopotentiometry

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.

•t Simplified user interface for
faster test setup and analysis of
results
•t Real-time plotting of
voltammograms on the front
panel
•t Analytical graph cursors for
immediate analysis of results
without the need for a PC
•t Create libraries of reusable,
customizable experimental
software with built-in open
source scripting

Keithley’s 2450-EC is a smart alternative as a DC/low frequency potentiostat. The
2450-EC has features that, in many cases, can perform as well as a potentiostat at
lower cost including a wide range of voltages and currents for sourcing or measuring,
nV / fA 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 2450-EC can run internal application test scripts
so electrochemistry meaurements can be run without the use of an external computer. Results (graphs) are immediately displayed right on the instrument front panel
touchscreen. Connecting the 2450-EC to a 2-, 3-, or 4-electrode cell to perform
the same tests as a potentiostat is simple with the included translation cable.
