The Reference 620 Potentiostat is the Cadillac of potentiostats!
Application Area:Corrosion protection performance of organic coatings
"I run potentiostatic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with this equipment. The data are extremely high quality. The technique and potentiostat are very sensitive. The interface is user-friendly, and the software is easy to maneuver. I have not had to call Gamry for after-sales care, so I gave the item 3 stars in this category for neutral. Based on my phone calls with Gamry regarding other product inquiries, however, I would expect excellent after-sales care."

"I have been doing fundamental 3E electrochemistry for about 10 years now, have used CHI, Biologic, Gamry and Princeton instruments. For CV and EIS, you really can't do better than the reference 620. Signal to noise is fantastic, scripting is possible (and scientists at gamry will write scripts for you if you need something unavailable!), and the EIS data is publication quality everytime. While the price is higher than Biologic, this Pstat surpasses all others for 3E fundamental electrochemistry!"

Application Area:Electrochemistry measurement & corrosion rate
"We have almost 10 potentiostats we use in our lab. In terms of ease of use, I would rate this as one of the easiest. The bigger challenge is after sales support in India, we have been following up on a problem from many months, which is not yet resolved. The technical team also takes a lot of time to come back and fix the issue. Speaking frankly, if I find a better alternative to Gamry with better service support, I will be switching to it for sure."

As a big advantage I have the option to check the current-potential figure (Lissajousse) during EIS measurements. We have more than 18 experiences with failure-free performance of some of our Gamry potentiostats and we believe Reference600+ will do the same."

Good, capable and portable potentiostat.
Application Area:Electrochemical measurements, batteries, electrocatalysis
"Reference 600+ is reasonably portable, ideal for in-situ experiments. Software is easy to use, although the UI is a bit lacking compared to other brands, for example it couldn't modify your settings on the fly. But, there is an option of customised scripting that expands the experiment possibility if you're willing to invest some time to learn to code. Price is slightly more affordable than other potentiostat with similar capabilities. After sales is reasonable, queries and service request through distributor network is usually prompt, but repairs can take a while if the parts or your hardware need to be shipped to the US."
