2450-ECHEM Electrochemical Test Suite Chemists use electrical measurement techniques to study chemical reactions and dynamics. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), a type of potential sweep method, is the most commonly used measurement technique in electrochemistry. A CV measurement sweeps an electrode's voltage as a function of time and measures the current that flows through the solution. The resulting I-V data provides important electrochemical properties about the solution (or analyte: a substance whose chemical ingredients are being identified and measured) under investigation. CV is used not only in the field of electro- chemistry but in inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. Cyclic voltammetry measurements are typically performed using a common instrument called a poten- tiostat. Potentiostats are electronic instruments designed to control the voltage difference between two electrodes. They often lack front panel displays and control knobs, have limited current and volt- age source output capacity, and typically have a high list price.
