III. The blue clip connects to the reference electrode. Start the Ossila Cyclic Voltammetry software. The window shown in Figure 9.2 will open. Enter the appropriate settings for your experiment into the software (explained in more detail in Section 9.2). -
Page 13: Software Settings And Controls
There are several settings in the software which must be entered before taking a measurement. These are found on the panel to the left of the window as shown in Figure 9.2. Figure 9.2. Ossila Cyclic Voltammetry software. 9.2.1 Measurement Settings Figure 9.3. - Page 14 (II) Current Range • Select the range of currents to be used for the measurement or automatic range selection. I. This defines the upper limit, accuracy, and resolution of the current measurements that can be performed by the system. II.

Page 18: Test Cell Chip
9.3 Test Cell Chip The Ossila Potentiostat includes a Test Cell Chip, shown in Figure 9.10, which can be used to check that your Potentiostat is operating correctly. It simulates an electrochemical cell by providing a response which differs depending on the direction of the potential scan. -

For the WE3 connector, if the Potentiostat is working and the measurement has been set up correctly, you will see the response shown in Figure 9.12. Figure 9.12. Example voltammogram for WE3 on the Test Cell Chip. WE1 and WE2 will give responses that are the same shape as WE3, but with maximum currents of approximately 30 nA and 100 nA respectively. - Page 20 9.4.2 Taking a Measurement (I) Start-up Procedure Please allow 30 minutes for the potentiostat to warm up after turning on. Once warmed up, start the Ossila Cyclic Voltammetry software. Ensure that the potentiostat is detected by the software. If it is, the “Connected Systems”...
- Page 21 (II) Experimental Parameters Choose the appropriate current range for the material being measured. Fc will give a signal in the tens to hundreds of microamps, therefore the 200 μA range should be selected from the drop-down box (Autorange can also be used). The scan profile needs to be defined.

Finally, withdraw the tubing or needle used to degas the cell until it is no longer in the solution, so that it does not interfere with the measurement. (III) Measure Now that the settings have been defined, we can start the measurement. Simply click the “Measure” button and watch the electrochemical reaction in real time. -
