1287A Potentiostat Galvanostat 

• Range of DC tests and AC tests, like EIS, with FRAs and ZPLOT software
• Two high resolution digital voltmeters across multiple ranges
• Patented pulse width conversion technique for high accuracy, stability and linearity
• Electrochemical Interface for stand-alone FRAs such as 1260A, 1255B.
• BNC connections ensure that different cable options are available locally.
• Popular options of CorrWare acquisition software and USB-to-GPIB converter to support interface to modern computers.

The Solartron Analytical 1287A potentiostat and galvanostat is a high accuracy, wide bandwidth instrument which offers a range of DC test capabilities. The 1287A can be coupled with a frequency response analyzer, such as the Solartron Analytical 1260A or 1255B, and ZPLOT software for AC tests such as Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy.

Popular options for the 1287A are CorrWare data DC acquisition software and a USB-to-GPIB converter to help support interface to modern computers. BNC connections ensure that different cable options are available locally.

Measurement Integrity

Central to the measurement capability of 1287A are two high resolution digital voltmeters across multiple ranges which provide simultaneous voltage and current measurements. Using Solartron Analytical’s patented pulse width conversion technique, we have high accuracy, stability and linearity throughout the entire range of the instrument.

The 1287A has excellent measurement resolution and accuracy down to 1μV for the reference electrodes and 1pA for the working electrode, which makes it an ideal choice for measurements where signal levels are extremely low.

The 1287A uses floating measurements on all connections: it is equally at home measuring corrosion rates on grounded oil pipelines as it is in the laboratory. For safety reasons, it is often necessary to ground laboratory equipment such as fuel cells and autoclaves, a major problem if your instrumentation is not capable of floating measurements.

The 1287A offers complete flexibility for cell connection: 2-, 3- or 4-terminal measurements can be made with equal ease.

• 2-terminal techniques for general materials/electrochemical testing
• 3-terminal techniques for physical electrochemistry and corrosion/coating applications
• 4-terminal techniques for accurate characterization of batteries/fuel cells, enabling lead resistance and impedance
