FAQ.

When should I consider using pulsed techniques (DPV, SWV) instead of linear sweep voltammetry? Which technique should I use for detecting reactants at very low concentrations?

Use pulsed techniques when analyzing low concentrations (sub-μM), or when baseline resolution between peaks is challenging. They offer improved sensitivity and discrimination against charging current. Learn more here.

EC-Lab software offers Normal Pulse Voltammetry (NPV), Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV) and Square Wave Voltammetry (SWV). And for even more information and guidance your local BioLogic representative is here to help.

How do I choose the right reference electrode for my experiment?

For selecting the reference electrode that matches your experimental system, you need to consider your electrolyte composition, the pH range of your media, the temperature range and possible interference with your analyte. Guidelines are provided here and for even more information and guidance your local BioLogic representative is here to help.

How can I combine potentiometry with other techniques?

Nearly all research requires the combination of different devices to get as much information as possible about an experimental in-situ / in-operando setup. Therefore, BioLogic offers potentiostat integration, synchronization, and interfacing with other devices. For example, the BioLogic Spectrometer system SEC2020 is a spectroelectrochemical kit able to operate under transmittance, fluorescence, and irradiance modes that can be synchronized with our potentiostat to characterize intermediate species created during a redox process.Learn more about our solutions for coupling with external devices with EC-Lab software here, and our different partnerships to develop cutting-edge solutions.

For the optimal solution, we strongly recommend contacting our sales teams to discuss how we can support your current projects, they can provide personalized recommendations based on your application needs.
