Squidstat Decka

±10 A Potentiostat with EIS up to 1 MHz

Squidstat Decka Highlights:

  • Becomes a multichannel system by connecting more Squidstats to the same computer
  • Onboard memory (16 GB) backs up all data collected from experiments for failsafe recovery
  • Voltage/current setpoints, OCP mode, and sampling rates are adjustable in real time
  • Wide selection of prebuilt experiments are available, and the “Drag & Drop” experiment builder can quickly and easily make custom experiments – no coding skills necessary!

Each Squidstat Decka includes one 100 cm Working Electrode cable, one 100 cm Counter Electrode cable, one 100 cm sense cable with Reference, Working Sense, Counter Sense connections, one USB cable, and one power cable to connect to a power outlet. The Squidstat User Interface software and unlimited remote technical support are included with purchase.
