Admiral Instruments' Electrochemical Society Spring Meeting Recap
The Admiral Instruments team recently returned from an exciting week at the 249th Electrochemical Society (ECS) Meeting in Seattle, Washington. Bringing together researchers, engineers, students, and industry leaders from around the world, the event provided a great opportunity to connect with the electrochemical community and showcase our instruments in action.
Over the course of the conference, 100+ visitors from the US, Japan, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and more stopped by our booth to see the Squidstat Plus potentiostat, Squidstat Cycler - Base Model and Squidstat Ventapotentiostat in action alongside our battery test fixtures. Attendees experienced live demonstrations of EIS measurements and battery cycling while engaging in technical discussions, asking questions, and sharing insights into their research and applications.
Episode 4 of our stop-motion video series is here. This time stepping in as experiment bodyguards! Their mission: keeping electrochemical runs safely with the help of set limits, no matter how unpredictable things get.
Real-world electrochemistry can be unpredictable! Current can spike, voltage can drift outside the intended window, and temperature can rise quickly. In this episode, the Squidstat Solvers wiggle their way through setting up Instrument Safety Limits in the Squidstat User Interface (SUI) to protect both your experiment and your equipment.
With their signature mix of movement and humor, they’ll guide you step-by-step through building your experiment’s “guard rails”—so current, voltage, and temperature stay in check even when the chemistry decides to get a little chaotic.
Featured Application Note This Month
This month we are featuring a technical application note to assist you in performing corrosion measurements with Squidstat Potentiostats, titled “Corrosion Testing with Squidstat Potentiostats: Tafel Plot Analysis and Corrosion Rate Calculation”. This application note provides step-by-step guidance on how to perform corrosion testing using Squidstat potentiostats, including the Squidstat Solo and Squidstat Plus potentiostats for accurate Tafel analysis and corrosion rate determination.
This 7-page document outlines step-by-step guidance on configuring a standard three-electrode corrosion cell, performing polarization scans within the Squidstat User Interface (SUI), applying uncompensated resistance (Ru) corrections, and extracting key corrosion parameters including Ecorr and icorr through Tafel plot analysis.
Admiral Instruments proudly serves our customers who are among the millions of scientists, engineers, & technicians around the world using potentiostats and battery cyclers to uncover new ways electrochemistry may benefit us all.
To celebrate how electrochemistry has shaped the past, touches our present-day lives, and influences the future, every month we post five news articles, publications, & trivia related to electrochemistry.
Are you using Squidstat instruments in your research? If so, we would love to showcase your work to our audience of thousands of electrochemistry professionals. This free opportunity only takes about 5 minutes to submit.
