The WaveNeuro® Fast Scan Cyclic Voltammetry (FSCV) Potentiostat System is a unique electrochemical instrument you will not find from other traditional electrochemical suppliers. We are excited to bring high quality, regularly available, and uniquely designed neuroelectrochemical research products to you. Created by FSCV scientists for FSCV scientists, the WaveNeuro is well-designed, of high quality construction, and supported by a company with over 40 years of history serving electrochemical researchers. The WaveNeuro seeks to fill the gap that exists for commercial fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) systems. The system provides you with the following:
The WaveNeuro® Fast Scan Cyclic Voltammetry (FSCV) Potentiostat System is a unique electrochemical instrument you will not find from other traditional electrochemical suppliers. We are excited to bring high quality, regularly available, and uniquely designed neuroelectrochemical research products to you. Designed by FSCV scientists for FSCV scientists, the WaveNeuro is well-designed, of high quality construction, and supported by a company dedicated to supporting the instrument, as well as you the researcher. The WaveNeuro seeks to fill the gap that exists for commercial fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) systems.
The WaveNeuro is available in single channel (WaveNeuro One), dual channel (WaveNeuro Two), and quad multichannel (WaveNeuro Four) configurations!
The WaveNeuro Potentiostat was designed for the scientist (neuroscientist, psychologist, physician, chemist, biologist, etc.) who seeks to study the link between the brain chemistry of electroactive species (such as monoamines, catecholamines like dopamine and serotonin, oxygen, peroxide, etc.) and physiology (such as structure, function, disease, neural transmission, etc.) and behavior (such as addiction, impulsivity, decision-making, etc.). Microdialysis, still a technique used in the field, can provide high spatial resolution for detection of these chemical species but offers poor temporal resolution. FSCV, as a technique, provides both high spatial and high temporal resolution. Coupled with carbon fiber microelectrodes, FSCV provides a well-established platform for in-vivo and in-vitroexperimentation.
Traditionally, the products and instrumentation required to perform FSCV have only been available through scientific connections with developing laboratories. As the technique has grown in popularity, due in part to its relative ease of use, the availability of instrumentation has not followed the same trend. We are excited to bring such FSCV instrumentation to the market, thereby providing the robust technical, service, and sales support you have come to expect in the field of research instrumentation.
The WaveNeuro seeks to fill the gap that exists for commercial FSCV systems by providing systems with many novel features, such as:
