(Fc), which is the standard reference used for cyclic voltammetry. (I) Before Starting We recommend switching on the potentiostat 30 minutes prior to use. This allows it to warm up and reach a stable temperature, ensuring a stable measurement. -
Page 22: Taking A Measurement
9.3.2 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” drop-down box will be populated, and the “Measure” button will be green. - Page 23 (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. If the cell has been prepared Ossila.com Ossila Limited © 2020...

Page 24: Maintenance
The cell and electrodes should always be thoroughly rinsed immediately after each experiment with the solvent that was used in your electrolyte. Always set the cell to dry, preferably in an oven, before you prepare your electrolyte. This helps reduce contamination of your solution from water. Ossila.com Ossila Limited © 2020... -
