Industry news

Gamry Instruments is pleased to announce a new tool to help researchers get the most value from their data. This new calculator can be used to convert potentials recorded using one reference electrode into potentials recorded using a different reference electrode. This tool can be used to compare data from other research or to convert the potential data into a more commonly used reference electrode.

To use this tool, enter the recorded voltage in the mV recorded box and select the reference electrode used to record it. Then choose the reference electrode you would like to convert to and click to convert. This calculator includes most readily available reference electrodes and even some less common electrodes for comparison.

You can find this new tool on the Gamry Instrument Website.

pH Meters and ElectrodesIon and pH meters are electrochemical equipment used to measure the pH (acidity or alkalinity) or specific ion concentration of a solution. Other meters can also measure the conductivity or dissolved oxygen content of a solution. pH meters, specific ion meters, conductivity meters and dissolved oxygen meters can come as benchtop or portable equipment. A meter’s electrodes can be replaced with easy to clean electrodes or electrodes for difficult media. pH, ion and conductivity meters are typically used in life science research, pharmaceutical testing, food and beverage, environmental and water analysis.

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.
