Getting Started
Our biosensor required a potentiostat. A potentiostat is an instrument capable of maintaining a voltage bias between electrodes.
The bias encourages diffusion but more importantly the transfer of electrons which are recorded, and ultimately related to the species present in solution. We were faced with the decision to buy or build.
Unfortunately, there weren't any entry-level potentiostats that met our requirements, and commcercial potentiostats are in the thousands of dollars. We needed a cheaper solution if we wanted our device to be consumer friendly. We researched the literature for potentiostat circuits and were presented with the CheapStat.
