Product news

Metrohm introduces the 910 PSTAT mini, a PC-controlled, small and compact potentiostat ideally suited for training and simple applications in R&D. The PSTAT software is simple and intuitive to use enabling the main electrochemical measuring techniques, i.e. cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DP), square wave voltammetry (SWV) and chronoamperometric detection (AD).

The 910 PSTAT is highly economical, as it uses cost-effective disposable sensors that can be used without any conditioning required. It’s simply plug-and-play. Each sensor contains the three electrodes needed: the carbon, gold or platinum working electrode, a silver reference electrode and a carbon auxiliary electrode on a ceramic substrate.

While the 910 PSTAT is ideal for demonstration experiments and practical courses in universities, users in electrochemical R&D will find it a cost-efficient tool for sensor development and the study of reaction kinetics as well as the reversibility of electrochemical reactions.

ElectrophoresisElectrophoresis equipment is used to separate mixtures of protein, DNA or RNA, based on their electric charge, size and other physical characteristics, by passing them through a medium such as a polyacrylamide gel, an agarose gel or a capillary tube. Electrophoresis equipment includes horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis chambers, isoelectric focusing systems, 2D electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis instruments. Precast gels with a gradient can be used or gels can be hand cast. Samples are run alongside ladders or markers to identify the approximate size of a molecule. Separated proteins and nucleic acids in the gel can be stained or probed with fluorescent markers and then imaged and detected using gel documentation instruments, transilluminators, densitometers and scanners.

Voltages can be measured using patch clamping, automated workstations, electrophysiology rigs or cell based assays. Specific cell lines, manipulators and microinjectors are also available for electrophysiology research.
