1260A/1287A Full Electrochemistry System
Impedance measurements can be used to characterize reaction mechanisms in chemical processes. In these applications, a potentiostat - normally a Solartron 1287 - is used to provide accurate and stable polarization levels (controlled voltage or current). The impedance can then be determined by adding a sinusoidal voltage/current output from the 1260 and measuring the voltage and current on the sample.
