Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy System (SECM ) Brochure

The SECM integrates a positioning system, a bipotentiostat, and an ultramicroelectrode tip. The positioning system moves the tip close to the surface of the sample. The bipotentiostat polarizes both the sample and the  tip independently and measures both resulting currents. The tip is an ultramicroelectrode with a specific tapered polish and active radius lower than 100 microns. The positioning system scans the measurement tip and charts position with measured electrochemical parameters, creating a data map of local current.
