Calibration
32
Potentiostat calibration is only required infrequently. Recalibrate your Interface 5000 under the following
circumstances:
• It is at least one year since your last calibration.
• Your potentiostat has been serviced.
• You notice breaks or discontinuities in the data curves recorded with your system.
• The system is being run in an environment that is very different from the previous operating environment.
For example, if the Interface 5000 was calibrated at 15°C and you are now operating it at 30°C, you should
recalibrate.
