Do you want to get the most out of your potentiostat? Or are you struggling with abnormal results in your electrochemical measurements? Our comprehensive guide will help you optimize and troubleshoot common electrochemical measurement issues to achieve the most accurate results every time.

This poster is designed as a step-by-step troubleshooting guide, helping potentiostat or galvanostat users identify and correct issues in their electrochemical systems. Each possible error is illustrated with a corresponding graph. By comparing your data to the reference graphs in the poster, you can quickly diagnose problems and see what the data should look like under optimal conditions.

By referring to the icon shown in the right corner of each graph, you can pinpoint the root cause of the problem – whether it is related to the environment, instrument, cell, or software – and identify the precise actions needed to achieve the most accurate results.

The following aspects are covered in this guide:

• Signal-to-noise ratio
• Voltage or current overload
• Current spikes
• Incorrect applied/measured potential or current
• Oscillations
• Other unexpected responses, such as tilt in the baseline, distorted signals, or low peak area
