Squidstat Solo Single-Channel Potentiostat/Galvanostat

Compact potentiostat for everyday electrochemistry

The Squidstat Solo is a compact, single-channel potentiostat/galvanostat designed for reliable DC electrochemical measurements where simplicity, repeatability, and clean data matter. In a standard three-electrode setup, it controls the working electrode potential versus a reference electrode and measures the resulting current (or applies a defined current and measures potential), enabling quantitative characterisation of redox processes, kinetics, and interfacial behaviour.

Key specifications and design features

• Voltage scan range: ±10 V
• Maximum current: ±100 mA
• Best current accuracy: down to 1 nA (method- and range-dependent)
• Cell connections: supports common multi-lead electrode wiring for laboratory cells
• Floating/grounded operation: switchable to suit different experimental grounding needs
• Onboard data backup: 16 GB internal memory for automatic channel data recovery
• Compact footprint: suitable for crowded benches, teaching labs, and parallel setups
  
  

Compatibility and typical workflows

Squidstat Solo integrates well with common electrochemical cells and accessories used in academic and industrial R&D, including:

• Standard beakers, sealed cells, and H-cells
• Corrosion test cells and metal coupon measurements
• RDE/RRDE workflows (when paired with appropriate rotators and electrodes)
• Battery research screening using routine charge/discharge-style protocols (within current limits)
  
  

Typical applications

• Cyclic voltammetry (CV), LSV, chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry, OCP monitoring
• Electrocatalyst screening, sensor evaluation, and method development
• Routine corrosion experiments (e.g., polarisation curves and Tafel-style analysis)
