EmStat pico for 2 terminal sensor

Hi Jun,

I checked with Lutz from PalmSens in advance:

To close a circuit 2 electrodes are required. Between these electrodes a potential difference is applied and the current is measured. When you use a potentiostat the second electrode is split in the RE, which carries the potential, and the CE, where the current flows.

If a current flows (almost all techniques require that), but you only want to use 2 electrodes, your RE and CE must be connected to the same electrode.

During an OCP measurement no current flows, because it is an open circuit potential. For that reason it suffices to use the WE and RE during an OCP measurement. The CE has no purpose during OCP measurements.

Hi joern3,

Thank you very much for your comment!

I understood connection for our test.

I would like to try it.

Best regards,

Jun
