Gamry offers the right system for synchronising spectroscopic data with the electrochemical changes in a redox couple, covering the UV to NIR spectrum

Gamry’s spectroelectrochemical system is designed to combine electrochemical techniques with standard spectroscopic methods—absorption, transmission and fluorescence—in the UV-VIS and VIS-NIR regions. The two methods can be synchronised either jointly within the Gamry Framework software or via spectrometer triggering in separate software environments for the Gamry potentiostat and the spectrometer.

Product Description

The coupling between electrochemistry and spectroscopy is very valuable for elucidating the redox behaviour of polymers, transition metals, metal and organometallic complexes, biological interface systems or electroactive functional layers.

Gamry’s spectroelectrochemical system includes various spectrometers from UV/VIS (Exemplar series) to NIR (Sol series), a light source with deuterium / tungsten halogen lamp, a wide range of fibre optic cables and a 2-/3-way cuvette holder for absorption, transmission or fluorescence measurements at room temperature. If you need to work under inert gas, you also have the option of choosing the appropriate cuvette holder with the simultaneous option of temperature control from -30°C to 150°C.

Optical components are very sensitive to contamination. The service life, quality and reproducibility of measurements can suffer as a result. The spectrometer, light source and cuvette holder are therefore fitted with metal sealing caps to protect them from dust and contamination. The fibre optic cables also have plastic dust and dirt protection caps. Ideally, these protective caps should only be removed for the experiment and then replaced. When assembling a spectroelectrochemical experiment, gloves are also required to avoid irreversible deposits in the event of direct contact.

Another necessity for spectroelectrochemical measurements are special connection cables for the often very sensitive working and counter electrode connections. We therefore always supply the appropriate extension cable for your spectroelectrochemical setup.
