Spectroelectrochemical measurement setup (March 2010):
Within a ProInno II research project we realized a research on the topic "Spectroelectrochemical measurement setup" with the DECHEMA in Frankfurt am Main from December 2007 to March 2010. The aspiration of this project was to combine the measurement method "Rotating electrode" with a spectroscopic method.
Extension of the PGU-series with high-current devices (November 2009):
Corresponding to our concept of the PGU-series we built a 10A and 20A potentiostat / galvanostat towards the end of 2009. The 20A potentiostat provides an output voltage of ±33V and a polarization voltage of ±30V.

New BI-potentiostat (July 2009):
Based on our BI-potentiostat BI-PG 100 we further developed a new device corresponding to the PGU series, the PGU BI-100. This device has an integrated interface and the current ranges have been extended upwards and downwards each by a range. For both electrodes (disc and ring) current ranges from 1000mA to 100pA are available.
Development of a impedance potentiostat for high-ohmic impedances (May 2009):
Based on our impedance potentiostat PGU 10V-1A-IMP-S we developed the PGU-IMP-Micro. It provides a maximum current of 5mA, but can measure impedances reproducible up to 5 Terra-Ohms. This was realized by a special circuit design in combination with a high-quality and fast data acquisition system.
Development of a multi-channel potentiostat for multi-sensor array (April 2008):
Late 2007 and early 2008, we developed together with IKTS in Dresden a multi-channel potentiostat for electrochemical multi-sensor array. This device is equipped with 16 separate potentiostats. Each potentiostat can operate in 2 or 3 electrodes arrangement. The polarization is ensued in common, i.e. all potentiostats polarize to the same potential.

Module for measurement of potential noise with potential isolation (April 2007):
Referring to our modular system for the measurement of the electrochemical current noise we developed a module for mesurement of electrochemical potential noise. The input impedance of the potential meter amounts to 1014Ohms with the result that this module can be used as an electrometer. The module can be optionally assembled with potential isolation with the result that several samples in one system as well as in installations with external current influences can be measured. The modules are stackable; 8 modules can be assembled in one case and can be monitored with a measuring system.
Module for measurement of current noise with potential isolation (December 2006):
The wish to use our modular zero-resistance ammeter in an industrial environment causes us to configure the modules optionally with potential isolation. Technically this means that the input measuring circuit operates with an insulated power supply. In this way several sensors can operate in one electrolyte as well as in installations whose components displaced by external currents.
Impedance measurement (March 2006):
Several customers want to measure impedances on an entire coated samples causes us to build an
impedance-potentiostat with an integrated sinus generator and fast gathering of high frequency signals. The device is universal which means it contains all standard methods and the impedance measurement of frequency ranges from 100µHz up to 100kHz. In high resistance ranges impedances up to 200GOhms can be measured.
Modular potentiostat PGU-MOD (August 2005):
A new potentiostat of the modular-series with restricted manual operability nevertheless still useable for simple retaining experiments. In addition to a single device automatable as well as in a rack of 4. Connection via USB interface.
8-way zero-resistance ammeter (September 2004):
Based on our existing knowledge around of electrochemical noise and the wishes of our customers we build multichannel zero-resistance ammeter. It is a base device with battery operation or power supply that can be installed with 1 to 8 ammeter modules. Every ammeter has a measurement range from 1mA to 10nA. Futhermore two AC-outputs per module are available. The AC-outputs (noise signal) are linked over switchable amplifier and filters. One of the two outputs is assembled with an additional 50Hz elimination filter.
Electrochemical switchable ion exchanger (March 2004):
Within an AIF-project at Dechema in Frankfurt am Main an electrochemical switchable ion exchanger was developed. For this purpose we delivered two potentiostats / galvanostats and a special customized measuring system.
Erosion researches (October 2002):
Our activities around disc- and ring-disc-electrodes have opened up a new business segment. It is a matter of erosion researches with the assistance of a rotating disc-electrodes. Mr. prof. Hoffmeister from ISSV in Hamburg supplied the necessary ideas that the Jaissle company implemented by a new rotator. It is interesting that the installation can research not only erosion but also corrosion.
New potentiostat / galvanostat (September 2002):
Within a research project of water softening a system of two potentiostats / galvanostats and a special measuring system was built. All measuring and control channels of the measuring system are potential isolated and automates both potentiostats / galvanostats. Different sensors record and process the data.
The potentiostat / galvanostat is modular designed and offers a high level of flexibility.
Cooperation with the CORMET company (Early 2002):
At the beginning of the year 2002 we have made a cooperation agreement with the CORMET company. Especially conjoining is a tension / tensile testing machine of CORMET that can be equipped with an electrochemical cell and consequently allows specific simulation of stress corrosion cracking.
