M370

The M370 utilises a fast and precise, closed loop x, y, z  positioning system with nanometer resolution, along with a flexible data  acquisition system enabling the user to select the configuration most suited to  their experiments. The system is designed with flexibility in mind and the  design ergonomics ensure convenient cell, sample and probe access.

The M370 is a configurable system which will perform all the  key scanning probe electrochemical techniques:

• Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM)
• Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique (SVET)
• Scanning Kelvin Probe (SKP)
• Localized Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (LEIS)
• Scanning Droplet System (SDS)
• Surface Topography (OSP)

Applications:

• Studying flow through membranes
• Monitoring biological activity
• Imaging immobilized enzymes
• Chemical imaging of biosystems
• Materials for fuel cell research
• Localised ISE
• Surface modification
• Corrosion science

Multiple Scanning Techniques

The M370 software supports the techniques of SECM, SVET, SKP,  LEIS, SDS, OSP and uses a standard experiment model and a common precision  positioning system.  The system is factory configured with one or more of these  standard techniques and additional techniques may be added to your system at any  time.

The M370 software configures the instrument for area and line  experiments and incorporates standard electrochemistry and corrosion techniques  and allows the user to easily define, visualise, record and configure all  experiment parameters.

It incorporates the following features:

• Autosequencing of experiments, probe movement and area mapping
• Graphical Experiment Sequencing Engine (GESE)
• Support for multi-zone scanning
• 3D area map analysis functions and dedicated 3D analysis areas
• Multiple data views for all experiments
• 2D Line Graph tools for analysing and overlaying data
• Full-screen correct-aspect-ratio display of area maps
• Mouse button definable for Edit point, Full Screen view, Move to point (X,Y),  Cross Section, 2D Fourier
• User selectable American or European current convention support
• Selectable vibration frequency in SVP, SKP, CHM and CTM line and area scans

Accessories

A wide variety of optional accessories are available, including  various probe options, cell options (Environmental TriCell™,  µTriCell™ and Shallow µTriCell™, long working distance optical video microscope  (VCAM2), and 3D shaded surface rendering software (3DIsoPlot™). The ability to  configure to a specific application, and upgrade at a later date, makes the M370  uniquely flexible, whilst maintaining ultimate performance.
