Integration of Arbin Instruments with Gamry Potentiostats for High-Frequency EIS up to 2 MHz
According to the standard specifications published by Arbin, integrating a Gamry device with an Arbin system typically limits the device’s original frequency capability from 2 MHz down to 100 kHz. However, in this article, we will introduce a solution that allows the system to retain the full 2 MHz frequency, with some trade-offs to consider. Pre-Conditions for Achieving […]

Constant-C-rate w.r.t. actual capacity, rather than constant current with Arbin cyclers
As we all know, the batteries’ capacity degrade by cycle of charge and discharge. If we set the charge and discharge current of a fixed value, such as 1A, 2A,… the length of each cycle will gradually decreases, simply because the battery’s capacity decreases: Cycle time = (Charge Capacity + Discharge Capacity)/Current Sometimes users want […]
