NEWLY ACQUIRED PORTABLE POTENTIOSTAT

The Department of Chemistry received a potentiostat on February 2023 from Programme Migration and Diaspora of GIZ in their support to Dr. Fredrick Mwazighe as a returning expert from Germany. The Ivium potentiostat (Vertex.1A.EIS) with capability for impedance spectroscopy, in addition to the basic electrochemical techniques, is an important addition to the Department’s research capacity.
