Measurement system


Introduction to electrochemistry

The investigation of electroactive microorganisms affords an appropriate measurement system. To perform highly sensitive measurements we used a Potentiostat. For the understanding of the mode of operation of a Potentiostat it is necessary to define a few basic principles of electrochemistry. The following definitions come from (Harnisch, F. & Freguia, 2012):


The Potentiostat
