Short
Courses Sponsored by Gamry
Gamry manufactures high-performance
electrochemical instrumentation to address literally every major
application in the electrochemical laboratory. We also provide free
technical support for our products. For a pure educational
experience, however, it's tough to beat an academic environment. A series
of formal classroom lectures and organized laboratory exercises in an
intensive one-week burst is very effective. For that reason, Gamry
supports two Short Courses in electrochemistry. You can find more
information below, or call Gamry for our comments on each Short Course.
Short Course on Electrochemical
Impedance Spectroscopy: Theory, Applications, and Laboratory Instruction
University of Texas Health Science Center (Houston, TX) with faculty from UMMC, Ohio
State, Rockwell Science Center, and Battery Design Corp.
Date: Fall 2008...we hope to have
the date shortly.

Solartron
Criticizes Gamry's Technique for EIS
Solartron, the British manufacturer of Frequency Response Analyzers, has
criticized everybody who markets instrumentation for EIS that does not use
a Solartron FRA, including Gamry. Read

New
Techniques Added to Gamry Software
Version 5.21 of our software was introduced in February 2007. We
took this occasion to add three new pulse techniques (Repeating
Chronoamperometry, Repeating Chronopotentiometry, and Multiple Step
Potentiostatic) to our PHE200 Physical
Electrochemistry Software. These techniques are useful for
sensor development, pulse plating research, and other applications.
We also added the THE Repassivation Potential technique to our DC105
DC Corrosion Techniques Software. The THE technique is a new
approach to characterizing crevice corrosion and is currently undergoing a
round-robin in ASTM G01.

FC350
Fuel Cell Monitor Featured in a Recent Publication
A paper
employing the FC350 Fuel Cell Monitor to evaluate the
preparation technique of a membrane electrode assembly has been
published. Workers in Germany and Brazil evaluated assembly
techniques deliberately chosen for their simplicity to work toward a
low-cost device.

An
Excellent Review of Methods for Corrosion Rate Determination
Drs.
John Scully and Rob Kelly of the University of Virginia have published a
very complete review of the various methods, electrochemical and others,
for the determination of corrosion rate. Uniform corrosion, pitting,
electrochemical noise, galvanic corrosion, paints, and nonelectrochemical
methods are discussed. The review can be purchased from ASM
International. It can be found in the ASM Handbook as "Volume
13A -- Corrosion: Fundamentals, Testing, and Protection." The
ASM Handbook costs about $220 US, but you can order Volume 13A from the
ASM Library by calling (800) 336-5152 (US and Canada), Extension 5476 and
requesting that a copy of Volume 13A by mailed to you. The cost will
be about $30. Outside the US, contact ASM through their website at www.asminternational.org.

If
You Can't Identify Your Counter Electrode
Lead, You Need a Mouse Pad!
Does this sound familiar? You're about
to connect your Gamry Potentiostat to your cell and you forgot the color of the
counter electrode lead! If that's your problem, we've got the
solution. The Gamry Mouse Pad has a picture of a cell cable in living
color with each lead clearly identified. If
you'd like a free Mouse Pad, just drop us an e-mail or
give us a call and we'll ship it to you.
CAVEAT: Apparently, someone
who has no connection to electrochemistry discovered our offer of a free
mouse pad and we've been deluged with requests! While we generally don't want to
offend anyone, we're willing to make an exception in this case. Our
Mouse Pad is free only to users of electrochemical instrumentation.
