Potentiostat / Galvanostat / EIS & FCT - Monitoring software package

EC-Lab®

Powerful and Comprehensive Advanced Software

A comprehensive software package

EC-Lab® is an advanced software package for performing electrochemistry measurements. With more than 10 years of development and constant improvement in techniques and features, EC-Lab® software has become the benchmark in potentiostat control software.

Display mode

Two view modes are available in EC-Lab®. The setup of experiments can be done with a technique menu, or by inputting parameter values into a spreadsheet. Many experimental parameters can be modified “on the fly” during the experiment, with the changes stored into the raw data file. The appearance of the software interface is able to be adapted to create the best working environment for the user.

Experimental sequence builder

EC-Lab® software contains more than 50 techniques. These techniques can address applications in voltammetry, EIS, corrosion and energy source development. A powerful technique builder can execute a series of different modular techniques, wait and loop features to create complex experimental sequences. Even within each technique, the user can create up to 100 linkable sequences of that experiment with different parameters.

EIS measurements

EIS measurements can be made in both controlled potential and controlled current modes from 10 µHz to a remarkable 7 MHz. The patented “drift correction” algorithm and multiple stability parameters allow users to acquire the high quality data from their EIS measurements.

Compatibility

EC-Lab is now compatible with Windows 7 (32 and 64 bits).

EC-Lab® Express

Easy and user-friendly Software for new users

An easy software for education

EC-lab® Express is the ideal software to start with Electrochemistry. With an easy-to-use straight-forward parameter input window, this unique interface gives a simple overview for the user to create, modify and visualize the experimental setup. All voltammetry and chrono-method protocols are included, complemented by pulsed techniques and corrosion testing.

A comprehensive graphics package

EC-lab® Express graphical package is the same as that in EC-lab® and includes all analysis, integration and fitting tools present in the more full featured EC-LAB software.

EIS measurements

EC-lab® Express can perform EIS experiments on the counter electrode. Impedance of the counter and the working electrode are calculated simultaneously. EIS measurements on each element of a stack are also available.

Simple experimental sequence builder

EC-lab® Express offers more than 30 techniques. These techniques can address applications in voltammetry, EIS, corrosion and material development. An easy technique linker can execute a series of different modular techniques, wait periods and loops to create complex experimental sequences. EC-lab® Express provides the opportunity to do pulsed experiments up to 20 µs sampling or 40 µs for Cyclic voltammetry. This is very useful for performing kinetics and electroplating studies.

Compatibility

EC-Lab Express is now compatible with Windows 7 (32 and 64 bits).

Notes:

  • In principle, any software development tool able to call a DLL is suitable for using the EC-Lab® development package (C, Pascal, LabVIEW®...). However limitations of some compilers (e.g.: data types in Visual Basic,...) may prevent a proper calling of some or all the functions.
  • The EC-Lab® development package is provided "AS IS". No specific support is provided to this free package apart from the manuals. There is no warranty for damages using is.
  • Use of the EC-Lab® development package in a commercial software is forbidden without a written authorization of Bio-Logic SAS.
