Explore the Go Direct® Cyclic Voltammetry System

College educators, here’s your invitation to explore the Go Direct® Cyclic Voltammetry System with Vernier and Pine Research! Even advanced students can struggle with electrochemistry, but with this affordable cyclic voltammetry system, students can easily control and apply potential to a chemical system and measure the response as a current. 

Here’s what you’ll take away from this webinar:

  • Explore two basic cyclic voltammetry experiments you’ll be able to do in your laboratory: determining acetaminophen concentration in children’s Tylenol® and optimizing the reduction of ferricyanide.
  • Develop strategies for teaching students how to assess a voltammogram and modify operational settings to improve data quality. 
  • Gain experience using the Go Direct Cyclic Voltammetry System and our Vernier Instrumental Analysis® app to collect and analyze data.

See how the Go Direct Cyclic Voltammetry System was used in an undergraduate laboratory project comparing two analytical techniques for ascorbic acid determination in a recent Journal of Chemical Education article.
