The M370 Scanning Electrochemical Workstation is a new concept in Scanning Probe Electrochemistry, designed for ultra-high resolution, non-contact, spatially resolved electrochemical measurements.
The M370 is a configurable system which will perform all the key scanning probe electrochemical techniques.
-Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM)
-Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique (SVET)
-Scanning Kelvin Probe (SKP)
-Localised Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (LEIS)
-Scanning Droplet System (SDS)
-Surface Topography (OSP)
The
M370 utilises a fast and precise, closed loop x, y, z positioning
system with nanometer resolution, along with a flexible data acquisition
system enabling the user to select the configuration most suited to
their experiments. The system is designed with flexibility in mind and
the design ergonomics ensure convenient cell, sample and probe access.
Applications
These techniques have been used in the following application areas:
-Studying flow through membranes
-Monitoring biological activity
-Imaging immobilized enzymes
-Chemical imaging of biosystems
-Materials for fuel cell research
-Localised ISE
-Surface modification
-Corrosion science
Multiple Scanning Techniques
The
M370 software supports the techniques of SECM, SVET, SKP, LEIS, SDS,
OSP and uses a standard experiment model and a common precision
positioning system. The system is factory configured with one or more
of these standard techniques and additional techniques may be added to
your system at any time.
The M370 software configures the instrument for area and line experiments and incorporates standard electrochemistry and corrosion techniques and allows the user to easily define, visualise, record and configure all experiment parameters.
It incorporates the following features:
-Autosequencing of experiments, probe movement and area mapping.
-Graphical Experiment Sequencing Engine (GESE).
-Support for multi-zone scanning.
-3D area map analysis functions and dedicated 3D analysis areas.
-Multiple data views for all experiments.
-2D Line Graph tools for analysing and overlaying data.
-Full-screen correct-aspect-ratio display of area maps.
-Mouse button definable for Edit point, Full Screen view, Move to point (X,Y), Cross Section, 2D Fourier.
-User selectable American or European current convention support.
-Selectable vibration frequency in SVP, SKP, CHM and CTM line and area scans.
Accessories
A wide variety of optional
accessories are available, including various probe options, cell
options (Environmental TriCell™, µTriCell™ and Shallow µTriCell™, long
working distance optical video microscope (VCAM2), and 3D shaded surface
rendering software (3DIsoPlot™). The ability to configure to a specific
application, and upgrade at a later date, makes the M370 uniquely
flexible, whilst maintaining ultimate performance.
