POTENTIOSTAT / GALVANOSTAT
The Interface 1010 is a value oriented, general purpose potentiostat for almost all applications except for high current electrochemistry.
The "T(eaching)" version of the Interface 1010 can be purchased flexibly at a low entry level budget for almost all applications in electrochemical research and -industry.

The Interface 5000 Potentiostat / Galvanostat / ZRA is a compact, inexpensive system for material development and condition testing of batteries, super capacitors and fuel cells
The Interface 5000 delivers a higher current of ± 5A in direct comparison with the Interface 1010. The maximum available working electrode potential is ± 6V. The additional electrometer allows the simultaneous tracking of both half cells of a battery, a supercapacitor or a fuel cell when using an embedded reference electrode including the whole cell in a single experiment. Due to this time saving additional experiments can be scheduled.
The latest development in the Reference 600 series - the Reference 620 - features 20-bit analog/digital conversion, gaining about a decade of additional sensitivity. This makes the system the first choice for demanding applications, e.g. in basic research.

The Reference 3000 (AE) Potentiostat/Galvanostat/ZRA high performance and multi-purpose basic unit can be combined with the Reference 30k Booster and is ideal for evaluating new highest-level technologies for batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors and high turnover electrochemical synthesis.
The Reference 3000 is already a high-performance system, but with the addition of the Reference 30k booster, it can serve even more demanding applications. You can therefore make a valuable contribution at the highest level in basic research, electrochemical synthesis, and electrochemical energy storage. The Reference 3000 basic instrument can either be equipped later with 8 additional auxiliary electrometers (AE; Auxilliary Electrometer) by means of a hardware upgrade, or you can opt for the Reference 3000AE.

The Interface 1010 Bipotentiostat is shipped including a special cable for synchronization. Since the systems are floating from protective ground, synchronous operation without mutual interference is possible.
Multi-channel systems are ideal for any application where significance can be increased by higher experimental throughput.
With the multi-channel potentiostat from Gamry, a single system can be flexibly configured from many channels for research purposes with high significance. Flexibility means to operate each channel individually, in groups or all together. Each channel covers either a current range from 100 pA to 1 A (IFC1010) or from 500 nA to 5 A (IFC5000) and can maintain a maximum potential of either ± 12V (IFC1010) or ± 6V (IFC5000) at the working electrode.

The selection of the correct reference electrode determines the quality for electrochemical measurement results and their lifetime.
High quality electrochemical measurements require a stable reference electrode potential and a low impedance reference electrode junction or frit. In contrast, inaccuracies in potential measurement due to an unstable reference electrode can cause erraneous results whereas a high impedance reference electrode frit in the range of several kΩ causes potentiostat oscillation.
