Scanning Electrochemical Microscope for Bioelectrochemistry

South Dakota’s $20 million, five-year NSF EPSCoR Track-1 grant supports the acquisition of equipment for research and discovery-based learning activities. One of the amazing tools implemented through this grant is the SECM – Scanning Electrochemical Microscope for Bioelectrochemistry.

Features:

• Controls and monitors electrochemistry at a sample and probe with 2-channel potentiostat
• Low Current Interface provides improved current measurement and ultimate resolution
• Biofilm impedance (resistance on metals)  
• Real-time topography of select biofilms and 2D materials 

Training & Samples:

Training/Samples available to interested users.
