The Reference 600™ Potentiostat is the newest member of our electrochemical family. With the Reference 600, you can measure the impedance at 1 MHz with less than 2% error because the Reference 600 has a Rise Time of less than 250 nanoseconds! You can acquire data in DC experiments at 300 kHz, or one data point every 3.3 microseconds which translates to a scan rate in cyclic voltammetry of 1200 volts/second with a Step Height of 4 mV.

The Reference 600 has 11 current ranges from 600 mA to 60 pA - 11 different current ranges in the I/E Converter. By increasing the gain, the instrument can extend to 600 fA full-scale. With this wide current capability, the Reference 600 is a great Potentiostat for corrosion, physical electrochemistry, paints and coatings, and the development of lithium ion batteries. 

In addition to a well-designed layout, components selected to balance speed and noise, and extensive analog filtering, the Reference 600 oversamples the voltage and current signals, then averages to smooth the signal. The Reference 600 samples at 60 kHz (16.6 microseconds/point), then averages this data to provide the measurement at the Sampling Period you specify during the experimental setup.
